Description

Three offensive players overload one side vs three zone defenders. Reset weakside on each made/missed shot.

The constraint

Offense must produce one paint touch and one skip pass before scoring.

CLA principle

Joint constraints force the two zone-killing behaviors to co-occur.

Coaching points

  • Attack the gap between two defenders.
  • Short corner is always live.
  • Skip on the second rotation.

Common mistakes

  • Perimeter passing without forcing closeouts.
