Free-Throw Quick Attack

Instructions

1. 1LW pushes forward on the upper wing while PV advances near goal simultaneously
2. 2FT passes to LW arriving on the upper right side to initiate the quick attack
3. 3LW delivers the ball to RB driving forward on the lower side
4. 4RB receives and distributes to RW cutting along the lower wing toward goal
5. 5RW advances toward the far lower corner and finishes with a jump shot on goal

Coaching Points

• All outfield players begin moving to wing positions as the free throw is being awarded — not after
• Shooter must transition from thrower to receiver in under two seconds
• LW receives and passes immediately — do not hold when the defense is disorganized
• RW cuts to goal line before the ball arrives — catch and shoot in one action
• Exploit the 6v5: the open player is always there — find them before taking a contested shot

Common Mistakes

• Outfield players wait until after the free throw to start moving instead of before
• The shooter does not transition fast enough from thrower to receiver
• LW receives and holds the ball instead of immediately passing to continue the fast break
• RW cuts too early and arrives at the goal line before the ball, standing still when it arrives
• The 6v5 advantage is wasted because players do not find the open player
