Instructions

  1. 1CB outlets the ball immediately to LW to trigger the fast break
  2. 2RW sprints full speed down the right flank to stretch the defense wide
  3. 3LW advances with the ball, pushing up the left side toward the 6m area
  4. 4LW fires a cross-court pass to the sprinting RW on the right wing
  5. 5RW receives in stride at the corner and finishes with a fast standing shot

Coaching Points

  • RW: sprint from the moment you see the outlet pass initiated — every second counts in transition
  • LW: push the ball forward quickly but keep your head up to read the developing defense
  • Deliver the pass to the space ahead of the RW's sprint, not behind them
  • RW: attack the 6m line at full speed and shoot before the retreating defenders can set
  • If the cross-court pass is blocked, have a secondary option — don't force it

Common Mistakes

  • RW starts the sprint too late, arriving at the wing after the defense has already set
  • LW holds the ball too long instead of pushing it forward early in the transition
  • Cross-court pass is delivered behind the RW, forcing them to slow down or turn back
  • RW slows down before receiving, losing the speed advantage over the retreating defense
  • Players bunch together in transition instead of maintaining width across the court
