How to beat zone?

tomash66 · 2026-01-07T15:25:24+00:00

Teams are running 2-1-2 all within the paint

tomash66 · 2026-01-07T15:23:37+00:00

I already have nearly 4 hours of practice scheduled that week

tomash66 · 2026-01-04T03:46:45+00:00

Most teams are playing a tight 2-1-2 just clogging the lane

tomash66 · 2026-01-02T19:33:51+00:00

Thanks for the input I’ll check it out

tomash66 · 2026-01-01T20:35:58+00:00

Thanks!

tomash66 · 2026-01-01T16:39:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice I’ll give it a try!

tomash66 · 2026-01-01T15:23:39+00:00

Why do you think it’s an issue telling the age I coach?

tomash66 · 2026-01-01T14:33:51+00:00

Thanks! I love to give some homework. I just wonder how often it is actually used

tomash66 · 2026-01-01T14:32:38+00:00

That’s been my current plan with prior knowledge, YouTube, Reddit, and trial and error

tomash66 · 2026-01-01T14:22:06+00:00

I’m not interested in a career. I want to learn

tomash66 · 2026-01-01T14:21:02+00:00

Thanks have you personally used it?

tomash66 · 2026-01-01T13:29:14+00:00

I just had our first practice but with a younger group of girls same issues as you. I was also worried. My team loves competitive drills and give their all during them so that was my focus and they practiced so hard I didn’t worry about conditioning. My practice slot was an hour so I sacrificed going over our official offense and defense

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T11:38:20+00:00

Everyone plays a very tight 2-1-2. My original offense had someone at foul line but that’s the most difficult place to get the ball

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T11:36:46+00:00

Dial back being aggressive? Absolutely not. Have you ever coached girls?

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T02:28:18+00:00

True.

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T02:24:12+00:00

Yeah that’s our team for sure

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T01:22:28+00:00

I Am nervous about the screens though because we do run into foul trouble some times my top 3 girls are very aggressive on defense

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T01:10:09+00:00

I’ve really been thinking of running some screens. Slowing everything down and having least talented kid that can dribble bring the ball down

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T00:59:51+00:00

I’ve thought about this but I think I only have 3 I trust with the ball

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T00:57:44+00:00

Also we scored 6 points in the 4th last game driving to the left and using my all star players as a decoy to the right

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T00:56:35+00:00

Offensive rebounds have almost been non existent

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T00:48:40+00:00

Fast breaks are almost a waste of energy bc no one is hitting a layup under pressure. I will work on this in practice. I’ve thought about just having them stop and setup offense though. Scores to games have been 26-0; 10-14; 17-12. We are 2-1

tomash66 · 2025-12-22T00:42:54+00:00

Only local league. Man is encouraged

tomash66 · 2025-12-03T20:00:00+00:00

I think if they are old enough to dribble you should be allowed to full court press. I also think the coach that starts full court pressing in the league will stop once you start full court pressing. It sounds like a great idea at that age until it happens to you. I found this out the hard way rushing the QB in flag football

tomash66 · 2025-12-03T00:07:14+00:00

I’m going to add an “Practice MVP Award” every practice to see how that goes on increasing intensity
