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.
It depends on your players. If you have 1 or 2 skilled and big inside players you should take advantage of it and run a 4-out. I personally prefer a 5 out for this age as it is less complex and all players learn the skill to penetrate and shoot. Transition for 4 out is similar to the one shown in the video. Your big trails but does not stop at the perimeter. They cut towards the low post and try to get open for a quick pass under the rim.
