Looking to become a MASTER TEACHER of youth basketball offense?

You can use these drills to build an effective youth basketball offense. These drills build on one another and help players learn the basic concepts of good offense.

Coach Huber uses drills that build up to 5v5, allowing players to access prior learning and apply it as more players are added to the offense.

In the drills, Coach Huber breaks down elements of effective offense, including cutting, penetration reaction, proper footwork and good passing.

These 5 drills show how to:

A 1v1 drill on how to fill open spots & how to read defenders to know when to cut backdoor.

How to get open when denied and how to use proper footwork to create space to pass when players can’t dribble.

React to penetration and create space for a driver while also positioning players to catch and shoot.

A 4v4 game that teaches players to maximize the use of the dribble.

A 5v5 game that uses an unconventional scoring system that rewards the execution of proper offensive concepts.

This YouTube Video covers:

1 - How and when to fill open spots
2 - The read to recognize when to fill and when to cut backdoor
3 - How to get open against denial defense
4 - Proper footwork to create space for passes and how to find passing windows

The Youth Coach System’s strength is its comprehensiveness - it covers all your youth coaching needs from A to Z, saving you hours of planning time.

Awesome drills! We are installing dribble drive offense motion for our 6th grade boys and have only done shooting drills to learn the rotations and drive angles so far, this will be a great way for us to add the counters and natural cutting actions needed in live play. After our first scrimmage the biggest issue we saw was not knowing how to counter over committed defenders and denying passing lanes, our entry actions stalled. I am trying to come up with specific small sided games for our main 5 entry actions in DDmotion. Thanks for the inspiration!!

I do these daily with my boys in high school. I just make them specific to our offense during the season

42 traveled 2 times in less than a second. He also used his right foot as his pivot foot as a right hander. Fundamentals!!

Basketball is a simple game… teach them “how to play”.. not “plays”!

Good stuff, but I think it would have been better performed by older kids that had more experience to know what they were doing.... thanks for the drills.
