Instructions
- 1Create 3v1 or 3v2 by moving all attackers to one side
- 2Isolate one defender with numerical advantage
- 3Quick ball movement to find open player
- 4Wing positions with ball, interior players cut/pop
- 5Force quick decisions - overload must move ball fast
- 6Second defender (D2) cannot double without losing RB
Coaching Points
- Move all three attackers to one side quickly and with purpose — commit fully to the overload
- Ball moves at least twice before shooting — overload only works when defense is forced to make decisions
- Wing player with ball creates a passing threat first before looking to score
- Interior cutters must time their runs off the ball movement — arrive as the pass arrives
- D2 must not double — trust your read on when the second defender commits to help
