This is a simple youth play that involves a couple screens that will open up a shot close to the basket. If that's not open, your best shooter will get an opportunity to knock down a shot.
STEP 1
The initial setup is organized to create synergy between movements, screens, and passes for the opening play.
- Player 1 dribbles to the right wing.
- As soon as Player 1 starts dribbling towards the wing, Player 2 cuts through the lane and sets a back screen for Player 4. Player 4 jabs away from the screen to set up their man for the screen then goes straight to the ball-side block.
STEP 2
- Player 1 dribbles to the right wing.
- As soon as Player 1 starts dribbling towards the wing, Player 2 cuts through the lane and sets a back screen for Player 4. Player 4 jabs away from the screen to set up their man for the screen then goes straight to the ball-side block.
3. Player 1’s first option is to pass the ball to Player 4 on the block.
4. After 4 runs to the block, Player 5 goes into the lane and sets a screen for Player 2. Player 2 goes to the top of the key. Player 1's other option is to pass the ball to Player 2 after they come off the screen. For youth players, Player 2 does not need to go much past the free throw line. Player 5 also should set the screen a little closer to the hoop.
5. If neither option is open, Player 1 can shoot, dribble drive, or pass to Player 5 who should flash to the ball after Player 2 clears the screen.
