Hi Rui,

This is a regular hurdle for coaches with players who are new to the game. I recommend that you try to keep it simple and encourage your more experienced players to give some extra ideas and encourage those who have never experienced set plays.

To start with, keep it really simple with some unopposed drills that start to lay down the idea of set-plays to develop the players understanding of movement both for the ball and off the ball to create space.

This 3-man motion drill is a great starting point to build upon as it encourages the players to receive a pass, give it back and re-lead in a set motion - something that will be very important in more complex set-plays.

I hope this helps and your team soon start to rule to courts.

3 Man Motion Drill

DESCRIPTION
P1 is in triple threat position. P2 & P3 make a V-cut run looking to receive the pass from P1. P1 can pass to either side. After passing P1 looks to receive the pass back after making a V-cut run and then shoots a lay-up. P2 & P3 follow up for the rebound and then all rotate one spot anti so that the drill continues.
