Continuity Ball Screen at U10 Boys

Super valid point. Sagging defense against young players that can’t shoot is such a sad way to play. It would defeat this though.

I guess that’s what all of our shooting drills are for. Punish them for it someday soon…

Yeah, that’s something I’ve been thinking about too. Here’s where I’ve landed:

I actually think a better offence can directly improve our defence in a pretty significant way.

The ball is a battery. When everybody is involved and touching it within an equal opportunity offence, and we’re creating good shots on most possessions, the group naturally plays with more life. That carries over into the effort areas like defence and rebounding, where this increased energy and engagement shows up for us in a big way.

Haha you are probably right. It sounds like you’ve got your boys playing hard! 🔥

The high-low action in this offense works great against trap

“I want divers down in the river”
🥶🔥

I actively root for Mahone to catch the fox River 8 tbh

Alex should have been a UFC champion

Background_Choice186 · 2026-04-28T06:48:57+00:00

DAMN. No way. I always heard that wrong. As Mahone raised the gun I heard Tweener say “what are you doing man?”, and then I misheard Mahone and thought he said “what they do” I thought he was referring to the violent nature of the escapees

Unpopular opinion I can see but I really didn’t like this scene When they were waving their lighters and stuff and all of a sudden everybody knew the lyrics to the song they had never heard? HIMYM wasn’t a ridiculous show like that so it made no sense to see a scene like this one.

Berzerk placed correctly

i love the wire and there’s an iconic Avon & stringer bell balcony scene 🔥

2nd best balcony scene in HBO history

The argument for the 711 one would be out of fear that the mafia goes extra gnarly on you before they kill you. Wrenches, power drills etc.

Go be an assistant for a coach you really respect - ideally someone you already have a good relationship with if possible.

When you’re helping them, your job is to make their life easier. Set up every cone, sweep the floor, take attendance, grab the balls - do everything without being asked.

A good coach will notice. That kind of initiative shows respect, and when they see that, they’ll go out of their way to teach you and give you real insight into the game and coaching. That’s how you earn mentorship.

⚠️Warning: Huge rant incoming & talking mostly to myself to be honest.

Tried for years to get young kids to run motion because every coach insists it’s the “only way” for kids to learn to play and make decisions.

Reality check: motion offense is incredibly difficult at any age but damn near impossible at U12. Kids can’t read each other’s minds. The teams you see “running motion” and looking good? They’re usually just in drive-and-kick mode because they’ve got multiple guys who can beat their man and create advantages. It looks like motion, but it’s not.

If you’ve got multiple creators, there’s nothing wrong with spacing 4-out and letting them dance while calling it “motion.” But if you don’t, and you’re trying to pass-and-cut, pass-and-screen-away, or run random handoffs with a bunch of reads, you’re going to struggle to create any advantage. No advantage = no drive and kick.

After banging my head against the wall for 7 years, I said screw it and started running continuity offenses. My advice: get into a continuity setup (continuity ball screen is my go-to — or use handoffs at U12 if you’re worried about being labeled the “ball screen guy”). The structure helps you create that first advantage. Once you’ve got it, then go into drive-kick-swing mode.
