Playing against a zone can be a hard nut to crack. and extremely frustrating for coaches at ANY level. Whether you’re playing against a 2 3, a 1 2 2, a box and 1, or some other variation, there are a number of key challenges to face.
Challenge 2: Penetration is almost impossible too. Even if your wings can get past the perimeter of the zone, there’s always another defender right there to close off the driving lane.
Some coaches encourage their kids to launch up dozens of "Hail Mary" three pointers and pray that a few of them fall. But if you lack a real threat from "downtown" or your team has an off shooting night then this strategy won’t even stand a chance,

The truth is,
136064 001 Nike Air Jordan 3 III Retro CDP Countdown Pack(12), there are 12 key concepts to attacking a zone defense that are almost never taught to today’s youth and high school coaches. These concepts are simple to learn,
130207 101 Air Jordan 1 94 Retro White Black Red(4), easy to teach,
310805 106 Air Jordan 10 Powder Blue White Dark Powder Blue Black(19), and (when used correctly) explosively powerful.
Best of all, they work for almost ANY team even if your kids are small,
371496 991 Air Jordan 7 Retro DMP Bulls Magic(9), slow,
Nike Air Jordan 6 VI Retro Olympic White Black Moon(14), or can’t shoot.
Let’s go through these one by one,

Tip 1 Inside Outside Theory
Getting the ball down into the paint is probably the single most effective strategy you can use against a zone defense. Interior passing forces the zone to contract, and when your post players kick it back out,
136027 035 Women Size Air Jordan 5 Oreo Black Cool Grey White(8), the defense has to scramble to close out on the perimeter.
So you keep the defense off balance and get more open looks from outside.
For starters,
311832 162 Air Jordan 14 Retro White Black Red(20), you and your players need to learn how to recognize the difference between a man to man defense and a zone and how to identify the different zone formations you’ll see in your league.
Tip 3 Poise Patience Payoff
In the early part of a possession, the defenders inside a zone are crisp and energetic quickly rotating from spot to spot and communicating with their teammates.
But after 10 or 20 seconds,
315371 091 Air Jordan Spizike Stealth Black(2), the kids get tired their rotations break down and (almost like magic) scoring opportunities will open up for your team. If your players can be poised and patient against a zone, they’ll get plenty of chances for high percentage shots.
Tip 4 Dribble With A Purpose
There are 2 key ways to use the dribble against the zone. The first is to dribble and draw defenders, then set up your teammates for an open shot. The second way is to penetrate through the gaps and beat two fifths of the zone for a pull up.
Incorporate those attacks into your zone offense,
384664 160 Air Jordan 6s Carmine 2014 In Stock Buy Now(6), and encourage your guards to be aggressive whenever they’re handling the ball.
There are 4 critical passing techniques your players need to master to break down a zone defense. The chest pass for swinging it around the perimeter the bounce past for post entry the skip pass to get it to the weak side and the lob pass to get over top of the zone.
Tip 6 Get Your Spacing Right
Never. ever,
136064 120 Jordan 3 Fire Red Retro 2013 Women Size(10). EVER allow a zone defender to cover two or more of your players. Train your team to use proper spacing on the floor so the zone is forced to spread out and cover as much area as possible,
130690 125 Kids Size Air Jordan 12 Retro Taxi 2013(2). Make sure your kids are at least 15 feet apart on the perimeter and about 10 12 feet apart inside.
Tip 7 Game Situation Shooting
Spend at least 30% of your practice time on game situation shooting drills. This is NOT just throwing out a bunch of balls and allowing your players to fire up jumpers from anywhere they want. Instead, pick out the spots where the "gaps" in the zone usually are (the high post, short corner,
318541 992 Air Jordan 9 14 Countdown Package(9), 3 point line) and run structured partner passing drills to get as many reps in as possible.
Probably the biggest weakness of a zone defense is rebounding. Since the defenders are not matched up man to man,
310805 026 Air Jordan 10 Retro Bobcats 2014(6), they have a tougher time finding their boxing out assignments when a shot goes up. If you can teach your kids how to get after the ball with intelligence and aggression,
311832 002 Air Jordan 14 Retro Black Red(2), you’ll EASILY get an extra 5 or 10 offensive rebounds per game.
Tip 9 Screening Against A Zone
Using interior screens can allow your forwards to dive across the lane and receive a pass for a high percentage shot,
310455 001 Air Jordan 20 Stealth Black Red(1). Or (if you learn to do it correctly) you can use perimeter screens to set your shooters up for open looks from the outside.
Remember to remind your screener to come back for the ball!
The goal here is to move the ball to a point on the floor where you have 3 offensive players guarded by 2 defenders. This is the classic "overload" where you try to outnumber the defense to gain an advantage and get more open looks at the basket,
