Basketball: Screen - 2 v 2

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...
Cornel

DESCRIPTION

One attacking player sets up near sideline with the ball. 

2 defenders set up in line to defend players.

Other attacking player sets a screen on first defender. This opens the player up for a pass and a shot or clears the way for a lay up. 

 

 

COACHING POINTS

Screening defnder needs to set a wide base with a purposeful pivot. 

Seal the player off throughing picking and rolling, this takes the defense out of the equation.

Screening player to keep an open body.
