The movements on the other side are the same as shown before. If the ball now goes from the top player to the right wing, the top player makes another basket cut into the left corner. With a skip pass from one side to the other, there are no cuts from the players.
Here is a great Video of Rick Torbett simplifying the 5-out motion offense. Hope it helps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7OBBKzQakpY.htmlsi=oyHr_xJlfgfzwWvN
Thank you for your comment. I agree 100%. Adding defense brings enough randomness and game like situations to the drill to teach decision making at the same time. I like to implement certain constraints to focus on certain aspects. However, a 5-on-5 shell drill with defense can be too complex at the beginning. Therefore, it can be a good idea to reduce the complexity at the beginning.
Unfortunately there is no German version of it. But you can watch the video with German subtitles by activating the subtitles in the video settings and switching to German.
When i played guard. I can see the pick coming from the corner of my eyes. What i did was blow right through the pick. That way, the person doing the pick gets knocked on there ass. To let them and the team know not to try that shit on me.
Very good and legitimate question: The cutter player #1 goes to position #3 on the right wing position. Passer player #2 becomes the next defender. He can go to the two cones immediately after the pass and get ready for the next run. Finisher Player #3 becomes the next passer at the left wing position. The defender grabs the rebound and lines up at the midline for the next run. So each player go through each position in turn.
Thank you for your suggestion. I will come up with some ideas how to teach the pack line defense. I have another video where I show drills l how to teach the help side Defense. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lYMHGPNq_78.html
I prefer Pack Line over zone for youth basketball. I have been using it for a while and this is a good explanation. It would be good to have some real world examples at the youth level where the offence does not have perfect spacing eg 4 players on one side of the crt etc.
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you found the explanation helpful. I agree that the pack line defense can be a great fit for youth basketball, especially when dealing with imperfect spacing or unstructured offenses. I'll definitely consider including more real-world examples in future videos to address these scenarios. If you have any specific situations you'd like me to cover, feel free to share them, and I'll do my best to work them into the content. Thanks for watching and for your feedback!
There's a video on how to play against zone regardless of offensive formation. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oEW31o0d-IE.htmlsi=eO840sJ7gONi_yly Thanks for the idea. I'll put it on my list. It will be out soon.
Great stuff...on the last drill though (whistle) coach MUST mind blowing the whistle equally between teams, game situations and players in possession of the ball. Specifically with age groups under 16...
Let me be the first to comment and say these drills are incredible for my 14u and 12u teams. I hope you keep up this channel! The quality is high level. Love from New Jersey
Thanks for the drills! Question: when I was trying to run drill #3 yesterday with the full setup, I was running into the issue with some of the rotations. It seems as though Player 2 and Player 5 will constantly be changing with each other and therefore will never leave the setup or be in a place to return the the mid-line. Is there anyway to modify the drill so we don't run into this issue?
Yes, there is a solution for that. Sorry for the confusion. In order to move every player to each spot, you need an extra wing-to-top pass at the end of the round. So player 5 makes the layup penetrating from the top and not player 3. So we have 4 passes before layup. Player 4 grabs the rebound.
I have a recreation team with 10-11 year old kids. None of them are particulary talented and I only have one "big". I struggle with them as they are not getting open, dribbling to much and more. Doesn't sound like this is a good offense for them. I was going to try a 3 out 2 in and try to get some more chances to pass inside but not sure that will work. Anyone have any suggestions?
At this age, the focus is on player development rather than winning games. In my opinion, the ideal form of play is Read&React. It works best in a 5-out formation, but also 4-1 or 3-2. It creates a lot of movement with and without the ball, which helps your players get open. To prevent your players from dribbling too much: Set rules about when dribbling is allowed. Bring the ball up the court, penetrate to the rim, create a better passing angle. Everything else is a turnover.

I like to have defined roles for every player on the court. So we have our two guards player 1 and 2 who can both bring the ball up. And we have two runners player 3 and 4 who run the floor along the sideline. Our center player 5 is the trailer. Depending on which of the guards brings the ball up, we can have the play on the left or on the right side.
@@basketballorbit So you tell the players, "you run the right sideline (to the corner) every time, you run the left sideline every time" etc? So more like a numbered break with 5 out spacing?
@@bryannixon4297 In my case only the two guards have an assigned side. The two forwards run on the side where they are currently. They have to coordinate. But that depends on the players. Younger players prefer clearer rules. The older and more variable the players are, the more freedom they have on the court.
I ran this offense in high school in the mid 90’s and its great if you have shooters, aggressive cutters and dudes who can crash. Its not great when you are all bricks…
