3 Drills For Screening & Passing

By Jeff Huber

In this video, Georgia HS State Championship Coach Bob Martin takes you through 3 drills from his Screening Game Offense that have helped make his King's Christian teams some of the best offensive teams in the country. Among their offensive feats:

  • Top 3 in Georgia in 3 Point % (39%)
  • Offensive rebounded 37% of their misses
  • 1.5:1 Assist to Turnover ratio

Coach Martin explains how players are assigned roles as a screener, cutter, or screener/cutter. By doing so, players have clarity on what their jobs are within the offense. That allows players to work together as a cohesive unit, with all 5 players involved in the offense.

By focusing on passing and screening, Coach Martin's offense generates extensive ball reversals and pain touches, resulting in much higher points per possession.

Stats show that 1 ball reversal raises points per possession from .706 to .935. If you add in a paint touch along with the ball reversal, points per possession skyrocket to 1.189.

The drills in this video will help you create an offense that passes and screens efficiently and effectively. That will lead to better scoring opportunities, more points, and more wins!

This YouTube Video covers:

  1. The roles players are assigned within The Screening Game
  2. The options each player has within their role
  3. How screeners often get the most shots, contrary to popular belief
  4. The value of driving opposite of the pass
  5. Why "surfing" the baseline distorts the defense and creates scoring opportunities
  6. When to throw the ball to an "open" cutter and when not to
  7. A 2v2 down screen drill on one side of the floor that teaches players how to use screens
  8. A 3v3 down screen and flare screen drill that emphasizes ball reversal and dribble penetration
  9. A 4v4 FIBA style drill that puts multiple screening and cutting actions together

The Screening Game's strength is its ability to break down the defense with constant ball and player movement. Using these passing and screening drills will allow your team to do the same!
