Youth Offense - Michigan
Summary
If you're a youth coach, this offense is continuous and has a very simple motion. Even if you're not a
youth coach, I've seen this offense used at the High School Varsity level.
Personnel
You want Players 4 & 5 to be your post players. You want players 1, 2, & 3 to have good ball handling
skills. All your players will cover every spot on the floor after a few rotations.
Instructions
- Your players should start in these positions.
|
|
|
- Soon as Player 1 comes down the court, Player 4 sets a down screen for Player 2 and Player 5 sets a down
screen for Player 3. Players 2 & 3 flash to the wings.
- After Players 4 & 5 set a screen, they should try to seal the
defender behind them and open up to the ball.
|
|
|
- After Player 1 throws the pass to Player 2, Player 4 sets a cross screen for Player 5 & Player 1 sets an away
screen for Player 3.
Player 5 explodes to the ball side and Player 3 comes to the top of the key.
You also have the option to have Player 4 post for one or two seconds to see if he can get good post position on his
defender before he sets the screen for Player 5. Player 1 would wait to
set the screen for Player 3 until Player 4 turns to go set the screen.
|
|
|
- If Player 5 comes across the lane wide open, Player 2 should hit him with the pass. If he is not open, Player 2
should pass the ball to Player 3 at the top of the key.
Now, they are in their original formation again and they can continue to run the offense from there.
|
|
|
- Player 2 sets the screen for Player 5 & Player 1 sets the screen for Player 4.

that play works sooooo well its amazing! if i were a nba coach i would most definetly use this play. every single time i used the play player 4 would be open. therfore i would always use player 4 as my best shooter! player 1 was always my second best shooter so that incase the whole play backfired i would always have a secondary plan with player1! i just wanna thank you so much for giving us this play because it really actually helps!
from your biggest website fan,

Start your big guys on the wings and you will get height a mismatch if the defense switches. Very important that the downscreeners "open": up to the ball after screening.
Good "Hoops" to all !

Thanks for all the info. I'm a new coach for girls rec. 5th grade that does not allow a press or a zone, all half court man to man(or girl to girl). Any other offensive plays would be much appeciated. Thanks and keep up the great job.

I have a rec league high school team with 3 scorers, (2 Guards, 1 point forward) 2 average players (1 guard, 1 SF), and 3 players who struggle understanding the game.
There is rules about playing time also.
Teams are starting to play 2-3 zone against us because the lower players really struggle to get theses offensive concepts.
What is a 2-3 zone offense I can use to get the PG, SG, and point forward the ball and shots?
This play is too much about the guys in the middle who just really struggle at times.
Also guards at the wings will sometimes lose the ball

Will this play work against a 3-2 zone. Usually the teams we play, start there zone very high, because our point guard is a strong player for his age group. Any answers will be very helpful.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
We don't have an offense currently available for a 3-2 zone. If you want to get a better idea of how to beat a zone defense, read our offensive theory article at this link: http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/Offense/offensiveTheory.html
You could also run a few zone overload plays. Here are the links: http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/plays/Overload-zone.html
& http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/plays/Overload-zone2.html
You can also find more plays in our plays ebook or at the plays link: http://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/plays.html
