Zone Busting Plays for Youth Players

With this complete playbook, it takes just 60 seconds to put together a zone-busting practice your players will love.

No stress. No fuss. No wasted time.

Inside, you get instant access to over 18 proven quick hitters, motion offenses, and live drills for attacking zones.

All organized into a step-by-step playbook you can implement right away.

So, no matter how busy you are, you can run an amazing practice that boosts your team’s ability to score against any zone defense…starting today!

The playbook walks you through the key principles of beating zone defenses:

Dribble Penetration – Teach your players to attack the gaps in the zone by penetrating off the dribble. Force the defense to collapse, opening up shots on the perimeter or dump offs to the post.
Screening the Zone – Set screens on zone defenders to create confusion and openings in the defense. Screens work against zones too!
Quick Ball Movement – Rapid ball reversal from side to side keeps the defense shifting and distorts their coverage. Skip passes over the top of the zone lead to wide-open perimeter shots.

With detailed breakdown drills for guards and posts, you’ll develop the fundamentals and timing needed to execute any zone attack.

And live walkthroughs teach your players how to read the defense and expose gaps in coverage.

In just one 60-minute session, your team will gain the confidence and skills to slice through zones for easy baskets.

Transform your next practice with this complete zone-busting playbook.

What Coaches Are Saying

This podcast gives a wealth of information on coaching youth basketball, especially for first timers like myself. They take a little too long at the beginning of each show to dive into the material. And I wish their shows were longer. But overall, it’s been very helpful to me.

Coach Bill and Coach Steve teach the game better than anyone I’ve ever seen!

Bill and Steve provide a fun breakdown of common scenarios found in the youth game with real world examples of how to address them. Shows are brief and to the point. I’ve gained quite a few tips from listening.

This is an amazing resource for youth basketball. Bill and Steve are experienced and practical. They obviously know their stuff and are passionate about helping coaches and players.

I love this idea of focusing the podcast on Youth Hoops. I appreciate how you guys keep it real with what the focus should be on when they are young. I hope more coaches find your podcast:)

This podcast is exactly what I’m looking for. I’m a middle school girls basketball coach outside of Shreveport, LA and this is a great resource for me and my team. Subscribed!
