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.
