The BRAND NEW Sportplan animator brings your drills and set pieces to life. No longer is there a need to create over designed diagrams - simply press play and go!
The animator uses a unique action-based animation technology; just like in a game, every player's action relies on the previous action or the action of another player or the movement of the ball. No need to be a Hollywood director to make your animations, there are no timelines here. Simply draw it how you would describe it.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
The closeout is the most repeated defensive action in modern basketball. With fouls per game climbing in the 2025-26 season, coaches must teach defenders to contest the three without surrendering the drive or putting shooters on the line.
The 2-3 zone defence remains one of the most effective defensive systems in basketball when coached and executed properly. This guide covers the fundamentals of running a 2-3 zone, including player roles, rotations, and when to deploy it for maximum impact.
