Eagle (Breaking the press)

Your best ball-handler out of bounds. Two wings in a stack. Two post neat center court across from each other horizontally spread to the sidelines.

Instructions

Your best ball handler will inbound the ball to one of the wings who are set up in a stack in the foul lane under the basket. When player slaps ball and says break the wings split apart and one of them receives the ball. After the wing receives the pass she will move it back to the one who inbounded the ball once she steps into the lane. When she receives the ball she will fire it to the post player who is set up near the sideline at center court. The post will be moving when she receives the pass from the wing and she will then fire to the opposite post who is breaking towards the basket for a layup.

Variations

  • The girl inbounding the ball can throw deep to the posts and then start the break.

Tips

  • Stress quick ball movement and hustle. If done right the ball will not touch the floor.
