Instructions

  3. 3A2 delivers the ball to A3 who has pushed up along the lower side

  5. 5A3 holds the ball and feeds A2 arriving at the central shooting position
  6. 6A2 fires a jump shot on goal from the center

Coaching Points

  • Wing attackers must make decisive cuts — half-speed runs let defenders recover
  • Center player holds the ball one count longer to draw defenders before distributing
  • Wing player receives on the move — do not wait static on the goal line
  • Crossover movement must be timed: cross when the defender commits to one side
  • The finisher should have clear sight of goal — shoot with confidence, not desperation

Common Mistakes

  • Wing player receives the ball too deep on the sideline with no angle to shoot or pass
  • Back court players do not provide support options for the wing, leaving them isolated
  • The attack becomes predictable — always going to the same wing without variation
  • Wing player holds the ball too long instead of making a quick decision
  • Defensive rotation is not recognized — players attack into a set defense instead of switching sides
