Instructions

  1. 1A2 clears out to wing
  2. 2A1 isolates and drives
  3. 3D2 helps on drive
  4. 4A1 passes to open A2
  5. 5A2 shoots

Coaching Points

  • Clearing player must go wide and deep — create maximum space for the isolator
  • Isolator reads the defender's hips: drive to the side they're overcommitting
  • Do not pick up the ball until you're committed to the drive
  • Help defender must make a decision — pass the moment they commit to stop the drive
  • Receive the pass in shooting position — feet already pointed at goal
