Wing -

The point guard initiates the offense bypassing to either wing player (in this case 3).

On the pass:

1 rubs her check off the high post screen

set by 4, then posts up. 4 screens then pops up to the top.

Wing pt. 2 -

On the pass to 4:

3 sets a down screen for 1.

4 passes to either 1 cutting off the screen

or 3 posting up.

If 4 passes to 1, she follows her pass to runscreen and roll.

Wing pt. 3 -

On the screen/roll:

2 and 5 set a staggered screen for 3.

4 rolls to the weak side of the basket.

1 can either reject the screen and gobaseline, or accept the screen and findoptions.

Guard -

If 1 initiates the offense to a forward in theguard spot (may happen as a releasebecause the wing is covered).

1 cuts off the high post screen set by 4, tothe opposite low post.

4 screens then pops up.

5 can either pass to the cutting 1 or the 4popping up.



3/7

Guard pt. 2 -

On the pass from 5 to 4 we run our flexaction:

1 sets a baseline screen for 2.

5 sets a down screen for 1. 4 should look to pass to:

2 cutting off the baseline screen.

1 popping up to the junction area

5 opening after setting the downscreen.

* As soon as 4 catches the ball, she shouldquickly fake at 3 on the wing, to keep thedefense honest.

Guard pt. 3 - Flex Continuity

If we dont get a shot:

4 passes to 1

5 pops out to the wing.

3 cuts off the baseline screen set by 2.

4 sets a down screen for 2.

* Same options as above.

Handoff

As a counter to wing option, the pointguard will initiate the offense to the wing,then follow her pass to receive a handoff.

On the handoff:

4 dives to the corner.

5 flashes to the strong side high post area.

2 sprints to the top (as a decoy/outlet)



4/7

Handoff - Alley-oop

While 2 is sprinting to the top:

3 curls off the high post screen, looking forthe alley-oop pass from 1.

Handoff - Screen and Roll

Once 3 has cleared to the opposite low post,we run our sideline screen and roll.

5 sets the screen for 1, who attacksmiddle.

On 5s movement 2 sets a down screen for 3.

After, both, 5 and 1 clear the wing area, 4fills in behind their actions.

Handoff - Vs. aggressive hedge on theScreen.

If 1 recognizes that 5s defender isaggressively hedging the screen, she willpass to the corner. This pass signals 5 toimmediately dive to the hoop.



5/7

Dribble @

If 1 initiates the offense by dribbling at thewing:

3 cuts backdoor, then posts up.

4 flashes high.

Once 1 gets to the wing:

3 diagonal screens for 5.

1 looks to pass the ball to 5 in the post.

Dribble @ pt. 2

After 5 posts up:

4 down screens for 3, then opens up forslip opportunities.

3 pops up of the down screen looking toshoot or rip opposite.

Dribble @ pt. 3

If 3 doesnt shoot:

4 can ball screen, and roll to the front ofthe hoop.

5 fills the opposite guard spot.

If we pass back to 5, then we are right intoour flex action.



6/7

Utah

This is a verbal call.

1 will call the play, then dribble away fromthe post that she wants to set the screen.

4 sprints to set a screen on 1s check, thenroll to the front of the hoop.

5 pops up after 1 and 4 clear.

Utah --> Flex

If 1 cant get to the basket and doesnt passto 4, then 5 pops up and we move into ourflex movement.
