Setup

A shooter starts under the rim; two screeners set up on the blocks/elbows, a passer up top.

Steps

  1. 1The shooter reads the defence and picks a side.
  2. 2They sprint off the screen on that side to the wing or corner.
  3. 3The passer delivers on time for a catch-and-shoot.
  4. 4If the first option is covered, the shooter uses the other screen.

Coaching points

  • Shooter: read the defender, then sprint off the screen.
  • Come off low and tight, hands ready to shoot.
  • Screeners: set solid screens and hold them.

Why kids love it

Teaches shooters to read screens and come off them at game speed — how real off-ball offence works.
