Absolutely. Spacing kills defense, and a 5 out offense is also the perfect way of getting kids to learn how to play the game. It’s all read and react. Yes, there’s a system and there are rules to that system, but within that system it is completely up to the players to make the right pass and take the right shot. Works at every level too

In English: please add the names of the players :)

I agree it's high school. High school teams really dont defend well in the half court with continuity sets. That's why in high school teams press alot or trap in the half court to speed the other team up and bait them into making mistakes such as wrong reads, bad passes, and ect.

Exactly what I was thinking too. How are the opponents falling for this technique

@@stem28-nacionalessimonephi44 it looks easy to defend. but if taught properly, there's counter's for literally everything the defense does. you always take what the defense gives you and use it against it. this is basic fundamental basketball, fun to play, good to watch, looks easy to defend but offensive players are more deceptive than you'd think if they buy into it and learn it properly.

It’s high school. Bad defense is to be expected.

No. When players constantly move at ANY level, there will be breakdowns. Plus, there are multiple situations where players react, it's not programmed. Harder to scout

@@EyesUpSports people don't understand basketball think this is easy to defend. if the team is taught properly it is UNGUARDABLE as long as it's executed with good technique and timing, combined with efficiency shooting wise. this is pure basic fundamental basketball

Early on, we will call "52" (5-out pass & screen away) or “53” (5-out pass & slip screen). Goal is to get to the point where kids have all options available to them and are making their own reads and decisions.

@@alexbaker1701 Thank you! Been trying this offense with a middle school team with the majority of them being 5th & 6th graders. Hasn't been going very good. I think they're just too young to "get it".

@@dougconley Easy first step after pass & cut is to assign a PNR guy. “51, but every time we pass to Johnny we follow with a ball screen.” Makes it slightly less predictable. Add the backdoor cut to that and you’ve got a solid start.

@@alexbaker1701 Not to sound obtuse but what is a PNR guy? I've been trying just pass and cut but they get out of whack with the rotation. I like the pass and ball screen concept better. Thanks for all your help!

@@dougconley For that level, just keep it at pass and cut. Good things will happen. Just practice reversing the ball so it doesn't get stagnant on one side.
