Instructions

  2. 2Maintain defensive shape with remaining 6 players
  3. 3Avoid unforced passes and turnovers

Coaching Points

  • Patience is the weapon — draw the defense into committing before attacking
  • Pivot is the anchor: circulate through them repeatedly to maintain structure
  • No cross-court passes — use only short, safe deliveries that can't be intercepted
  • The 5v4 window appears quickly — recognize it immediately and execute without discussion
  • Every player must know their role before the ball is in play — no improvising under pressure
