I love that your offense emphasizes drive and kick opportunities. What I struggle to teach my kids is a pass down is opposite cut and pass over is ball side cut. Teaching two pass and do is hard for them. Would Villanova motion work with players in deep corners and when neutral we always cut opposite. Then have rose series as sets.

What offense do people prefer for grades 4-8? Drive and space or race and space?

Good day everyone - I have noticed a trend over the last 4 years in our Region and Association an increase in the number of teams that play a 2-1-2 Zone. In our region teams only play it against us. Amongst each other they will play Man, a 2-3, and a 1-2-2. We have been able to find ways to get quality 7's, however I am inquiring to see if there are other ways to attack and create more opportunities for 9's?

Coaches, I am very short handed due to some injuries and sickness. For the last 5 or 6 games I have only dressed 8 kids. In those games we have averaged about 34 turnovers a game. The worst game being 41!! The crazy thing is we won that game! I have really tried to be intentional about SSGs to improve decision making and passing but when games come we have really tried to force things rather than "hunt great shots" which is one of our game goals. Last night, turned into a lay-up line for the other team. I know the girls want to win and they play their guts out. I feel like if we can cut turnovers down we could be in ALOT more games. I will take any advice.

Good morning hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I was curious about the first team we play has 1 real good player. Do you guard this differently than others or if we do what we are supposed to in LL the results will be fine. No she is not left handed.
