Progression Drill

Learn how to score in every advantage fast break situation you might find on offense all the way up to 5-on-4. You will see how you can create 2-on-1 situations even against good transition defenses. Coach Greenberg also demonstrates options for playing with space and scoring with no advantage in numbers during a 5-on-5 fast break. All of these concepts can be efficiently taught and reinforced to your team by using the "Progression Drill."

Press Offense

Coach Greenberg places a special focus on drills and strategies to break pressure defenses. You will get four practice drills to help break down your press offense. These drills work on fundamentals such as pivoting and ball faking to help you fight ball pressure in addition to situations you will encounter against full court presses.

The 2-on-2 drill will teach your point guard the required technique to get open for an inbound pass against aggressive denial. Coach Greenberg also uses a 5-on-5 drill to demonstrate his favorite strategy for defeating any type of full court press. This offense simplifies the responsibilities of your players and creates easy outlets anytime the defense attempts a trap.

Sideline Out-of-Bounds Plays

Learn two plays that contain a variety of scoring options. Coach Greenberg breaks down the possibilities for each and demonstrates how you can flow into different offensive concepts based on how the defense tries to stop the play. You will learn how to better utilize dribble hand-offs as an offensive weapon inside of these plays. In just two plays, you have opportunities to score through post ups, flare screens, dribble hand-offs, wide pin downs, lob passes, and more!

Coach Greenberg is an excellent teacher of today's game. He provides you with some great insight that he has picked up from today's top coaches. His philosophy of being demanding - not degrading - is a simple but effective concept you can use while finding little ways to win special situations to boost your team's confidence.
