What's Inside?

Pushing the ball out in transition is a great way to get easy baskets for your team. It gives you a chance to beat opponent to the rim, before they have a chance to set their defense. And it's an essential part of any serious coach's strategy.

If you want to teach your kids the basics of fast break offense - then this collection of drills & plays is just what your team needs!

Here's a sample of what's inside:

5 on 3 +2 Drill: teaches players how to make quick decisions on the break, before the defense has a chance to recover

Push the Break Drill: helps kids work on speed dribbling on transition, pushing the ball upcourt via the pass, and finishing on the break at high speeds

Early Offense Drill: if you can't score immediately off the break, you can still get a great open shot by running an "early offense" set. This drill shows you how...

Weak Side Pindown Screen: Gets your 3-man open at the top of the key following a quick pindown screen action

Baseline Stagger Screen: Got a great shooter? Run this simple play to get her open on the wing for a wide-open 3 in transition

Double Ball Screen: Great play to run if you've got a creative point guard... plenty of scoring options on the outside and inside

Handoff to Ball Screen: A simple action that gets your shooting guard curling to the rim for a sweet pass and layup

Backdoor to Ball Screen: Want to catch the defense sleeping? Try this quick-hitter play that gets your power forward open for a sneaky back door cut!

Quick 3: Designed to get you a quick look from long distance. We like using this one after a timeout or with just a few seconds left on the game clock

Dummy Ball Screen: Uses a "fake" pick and roll to force the defense to over-extend... then hit the cutter rolling to the hoop for an easy two

Quick Postup: Got a "big man" who can mix it up down low? Run this simple action to get him isolated on the post for a quick score

To shorten the learning curve and really make sure you and your players "get" this stuff immediately, every drill is explained with detailed diagrams and "brain dead" simple coaching tips and pointers.
