Why getting the ball into the paint still matters—and what players should learn to do next.
The 6-Week 3v3 Offensive Practice System
$25.00
Your players don't need more random drills. They need practices that teach them to read the defense, create advantages, and make better decisions. The 6-Week 3v3 Offensive Practice System gives you 12 complete, 75-minute practices with progressive activities, coaching diagrams, and a 5v5 transfer in every session. Six weeks. Twelve practices. One clear system.
Practice Plan #1 - Spacing & Passing
$10.00
Master the art of floor spacing and ball movement. This plan gives coaches easy to follow drills, clear teaching points, and game-like scenarios that build offensive flow and decision-making.
Practice Plan #2 - Dribble Penetration & Kick Outs
Stop Driving Into Traffic and Forcing Kick-Out Passes. Your players attack the paint, but what happens when the defense reacts? Some drive straight into help. Others kick the ball out before the defender even commits. And too often, the player receiving the pass has already decided what to do before reading the closeout. Practice Plan #2: Dribble Penetration & Kick-Outs gives you two complete, 75-minute practices to teach players when to finish, when to pass, and how to keep an offensive advantage alive.
Practice Plan #3 - Cutting & Off Ball Movement
When one player drives, what are the other two doing? Too often, they're standing behind defenders, crowding the lane, or cutting without creating an advantage. Practice Plan #3: Cutting & Off-Ball Movement gives you two complete, 75-minute practices to teach players how to relocate into open passing windows, move with purpose, and use off-ball screens to create advantages.
Practice Plan #4 - Screens & Handoffs
A screen isn't successful simply because two players complete the action. When defenders trail, deny, or commit two players to the ball, your offense needs to recognize what's available next. Practice Plan #4: Screens & Handoffs gives you two complete, 75-minute practices to teach players how to execute controlled handoffs, set effective ball screens, and make decisions based on defensive reactions.
Practice Plan #5 - Drive Decision Reads
What Happens When the First Drive Doesn't Create a Shot? Your players attack the baseline, but the defense cuts off the lane. The next pass gets forced, the spacing breaks down, or the offense gives away an open scoring opportunity with an unnecessary extra pass. Practice Plan #5: Drive Decision Reads gives you two complete, 75-minute practices to teach players how to recognize baseline pressure, maintain useful passing outlets, and make better decisions when the defense rotates.
Practice Plan #6 - Cut-Replace-Relocate
Your offense shouldn't stop when the first action gets covered. Your players make the first cut or pass, but when the defense takes it away, everyone stops and waits for another instruction. That's when offensive spacing, timing, and decision-making matter most. Practice Plan #6: Cut-Replace-Relocate gives you two complete, 75-minute practices focused on connecting offensive actions, maintaining spacing, and evaluating whether players can recognize their next option without being told.
