Zone defense, offense - the basics
In this initial zone play series, OLLU Head Coach Chris Dial walks you through the basics of playing a 2-3 zone defense and then shows you good options and fundamentals for attacking that same zone.
​
Coaches, have your players watch these videos multiple times to learn all of the positions on the zone.
​
Finally, sometimes undersized teams find themselves playing against a really good post player. True 2 Hoops shows you a nice wrinkle on running a 1-3-1 zone by switching out the traditional middle and back chaser positions. Again, run this video a few times so you can watch how each player moves as the ball swings around the perimeter.
