With youth teams we recommend you primarily run a motion offense so you can focus on developing skills, teaching universal offensive concepts, and giving players enough freedom so they learn "how to play".

If you use any set plays, don't use too many. Pick just a couple good ones to compliment your motion and to use when you really need a basket. In other words, you should avoid spending too much practice time trying to get young kids to "memorize plays".

I appreciate the simplicity and clarity of your videos, as well as the oral coaching advice by coach Haefner. Good angles, detailed-yet-uncomplicated, clear, nice job, your work has been a big help to me.

Thanks coach! I coach 5th grade and run a 5 out motion, I really like your spacing and movement and will be using it! I really like the double screen! Thank you! Hopefully one day I can get to where you are at!

Any Coaches on here, looking for advice. My kids run it fine in practice, even when we scrimmage each other. However, in our first warmup game, the kids had a hard time figuring out the play, no matter how many times they did it right or I drew it on my clipboard. Is there a trick or practice drill that translates into a game?

That first UCLA cut to the strong side seems like it sets up a very poor passing angle. Why not design the screen on the weak side elbow?

I wish I had those players instead of the plays 😬
