Exercise: Limited Superiority.

Good evening!

In this post we show you an exercise about situations of attack superiority. We think that it's important for young players to be decision-makers and to act quickly in situations of advantage during a game. So, we want to show you a way to teach and work on this. 

The exercise is from a great basketball blog: Entrenador invisible. If you want to discover lot of exercises, thoughts and interesing information we recommend you this website. 

Limited Superiority

Pic 1. Exercise Limited superiority. From entrenadorinvisible.blogspot

Objective:

Create a number superiority situation after a defense rebound and do a fast break with options.

Concepts:

Attack the superiority.

3x1 (+2)

3x2 (+1)

Intensity: High

1. Exercise Dynamic.

Attack player 3 throws the ball to the backboard and after the rebound, the exercise starts. This player can dribble or pass, and players 1 and 2 can offer a short or long pass. Defense 3 starts on half court, 1 and 2 on free throw line (backcourt).

On the return, there's an attack-defense change. In addition, the player who has shot or lost the ball, will have to touch, for example,the baseline and then recover the position, so we create a 3x2 situation for limited time.

2. 3x1 (+2)

The main objective is learning to create an advantage. On the first situation, we'll make decitions depending on defensor 3, because it's the first wich will appear and make his own decition: defense of the ball, passing lane or going back. The 3 attack player will have to cordinate their job for give an exit to the ball. 

Defense 1, who has to touch half court, will be the defense who start behind the ball.

Defense 2, has to touch the baseline. This player will start as the last defender to avoid 1x0 situations. 

It is important taking good-choices and do the exercise in high velocities, liki in a game, to take the advantage.

3. Vuelta: 3x2 (+1).

In the return, we have a less unknow situation, because depends of what happen on the first way. The attack players, will have to create an advantage and attack it before the third defense comes.

4. Deffense.

We can influence also on the inferiority defensive work: communication, cover spaces, fakes work, etc.
