White Player 1 is 'On'
Blue Players 1 to 8 try to dribble their basketballs to the opposite line.
Any players that the white player touches are 'caught' and will be 'On' with white player 1.
The players that make it to the other side continue until there is one winner.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
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.
