Youth Basketball Offensive Play 6 - "Baseline Box 2"

This is a great baseline out-of-bounds play that starts in a box formation. This play utilizes proper screening and cutting techniques, along with accurate passing to create easy scoring opportunities for the players.

This play can be used at any level of competition. It's a simple play to teach and learn - and it is very effective at creating easy baskets.

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.

Another key to being successful is to give the players options once they receive the inbound pass. 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 6 does all that!

In order to run this play effectively, players must first understand the fundamentals of basketball. Once players can perform the offensive fundamentals properly, then inbound plays can be incorporated into their game.
