Youth Basketball Offensive Play 3 - "Baseline Stack 1"

Youth Basketball Offensive Play 3 is a simple, yet effective baseline out-of-bounds play. This play utilizes the stack formation, along with multiple cuts to create easy scoring opportunities.

One of the most important keys to being successful with inbound plays is to create more than one scoring opportunity for the players.

By giving the inbound passer more than one option on the play - easy scoring opportunities are created. Plus, the defense has a more difficult time defending the play and preventing a basket from being scored.

Another key to being successful is to give the players options once the ball is passed inbounds. If the ball handler does not have an immediate scoring opportunity once they receive the pass, then they should have a teammate who is ready to receive the pass and create a scoring opportunity.

Inbound plays that are properly designed address these important keys, give the players options, and create easy scoring opportunities! Youth Basketball Offensive Play 3 does all that!
