Today, we're exploring two essential strategies: penetrate & kick and catch & shoot. Dive into our analysis to discover how mastering these can benefit your game.
Penetrate & Kick: This move isn't just about flashy plays; it's a fundamental strategy that creates high-percentage shots. By driving into the defense and kicking the ball out, players can dismantle even the tightest defenses.
- Scoring Opportunities: Collapsing defenses lead to open teammates ready to score.
- Team Dynamics: It builds trust and highlights the importance of smart decision-making.
- Exploiting Weaknesses: Take advantage of slower defenses and force them to pay for their lapses.
- Catch & Shoot: This quick-action skill is invaluable for teams that want to keep the pressure on and the scoreboard ticking.
- Quick Release: Catch and shoot before the defense sets up, adding a surprise element to your offense.
- Time Efficiency: With the game clock ticking, a reliable catch-and-shoot player is your best bet.
- Floor Spacing: Force defenders to guard the perimeter, opening up the lane for drives.
Whether you're a player, a coach, or a supportive parent, understanding these concepts is crucial. Encourage practice, foster teamwork, and watch as these strategies unfold beautifully on the court.
Last night, one of our EYG players hit eight threes in a single game. Not because he got hot. Because he made the decision to shoot— And had the confidence to let it fly. That confidence came from 7 months of consistent training: 4 workouts per week 2 full seasons of 5-on-5 play Mostly group training, with a few private sessions He had a goal. He showed up. He did the work, even on the hard days. And when the moment came, he was ready. This isn’t the end of his journey. It’s just a stepping stone. If you know a player with a goal—someone ready to work— EYG is here when they are. Let’s keep growing. Keep working. Keep dreaming. Keep elevating your game.
