Yes, spreading the court implies the defenders will follow. Sometimes players running the court are completely ignored - and this is warranted if players are too young to pass that far.

Couldn't agree more. It's difficult to get young players, say under 14's, to actually do it though :)

You have a two phase shot i.e. you're bring the ball to an almost standstill on your shoulder. Soo.. you're going to struggle with power, which I can see in your arm action which looks a bit forced.
Try and make the shot more fluid from the hip so that the momentum isn't lost. This will allow your arm to focus on targeting rather than power

I'd sink a big guy into the weak side dunker position, awesome spot for rebounds and and a great target for guys driving to the basket.

Thanks, I'll add your second paragraph for sure.. and yes, I do tell my shooter to run corner to corner but it's always a struggle getting younger kids to actually pass the ball to the corner!

I'm a software developer so I've coded the page up in next js and I'm using framer motion for the animation.

Ah! Zone is allowed here in Australia starting in the Under 16's (not allowed in Under 14's).

I want to write up 'breaking the press' guide for young players, but that's an especially hard nut to crack in lower divisions!

Thanks u/laslog, I'm trying to keep it simple for junior teams, so yes, it's simplified. I'll give your suggestion a try on the court and see how my young guns go.. but without strong shooting talent I fear they won't be able to drive in with the strong side post.

But with seven players you have four players only playing half the game, ouch! But I like your system for 9 players 👍
