Attacking Strategy – Fast Break Purpose of the fast break:
To attack before the opposition have a chance to set up their defence, creating the opportunity to score with an unopposed lay-up. This is advantageous as the lay-up is a shot with a high percentage success rate.
There are two essential factors that make a fast break successful:Speed and Width.
Centre wins a defensive rebound by blocking out his opponent and catching the ball at the peak. of his jump.
Point Guard moves from his defensive position at the top of the key to the wide channel. He does this so that the centre does not have to pass through the key.
Centre makes outlet pass to point guard, point guard dribbles up middle lane at speed.
Centre overlaps point guard to fill the right lane and forward fills the left lane.
All three lanes are filled ensuring speed and width. By attacking with speed can break up court and reach opponents key before they can get back. This ensures that which ever player receives the ball from the point guard has an unopposed lay-up. Filling all three lanes pulls any defenders away from the key and middle lane. Creating space for the point guard to drive up the middle lane at speed. By pulling defenders away from the key it creates space for players to drive into and perform an unopposed
The point guard where ever possible will look to use option 1, which is a pass to the forward. However the option selected will be influenced by the defence. If the defence mark or put pressure on the forward, the PG will use option 2 as the centre will be free. Option 3, pg going alone, would normally be used when both the centre and forward are marked. Option 4 would be used....

Weakness 2 – VariationExplain why variation is importantDiscuss how a lack of variation affected performance
Strength 1 – Decision MakingExplain why decision making is importantDiscuss how making good decisions affected performance
Strength 2 – WidthExplain why width is importantDiscuss how having width affected performance
Example Strength - Width
Explain why width is important Width is created during the fast break by the Centre and Forward
filling the wide lanes either side of the Point Guard. Filling all three lanes not only gives the ball carrier more passing options but gives any defenders in place more space to cover by pulling them out of the key. The space created can now be used by the PG to drive into themselves or by the C or F who can receive a pass and score a lay-up as they cut in from the left or right lane.
Discuss how using width affected performance positively During the fast break my team would regularly fill all 3 lanes. This
meant that as we moved up court we would be pulling defenders away from the middle lane and the key. When we crossed into our opponents half the PG was in the middle lane with the C wide on the right and the forward slightly ahead in the wide left lane. This successfully increased the space the opposition had to defend and ensured there was space around the key for us to drive in to. As a result we were able to finish our attack with a lay-up which is a high percentage shot meaning we tended to score.
Example Weakness - Speed
Explain why speed is important Speed is a vital element of the Fast break. Moving up the court
quickly maximising the opportunity of numerical superiority. If there are few or no defenders this gives an excellent opportunity to shoot and score an unopposed lay-up. Creating the opportunity for a lay-up is advantageous as it is taken close to the basket and therefore has a high success rate.
Discuss how a lack of speed affected performance When my team attempted to move up the court with speed we lost
control of the ball (e.g. misplaced pass) due to our low skill level. To offset this we began moving up the court more slowly. Unfortunately this resulted in the opposition having more time to set up their defence. With defenders now in our way we couldn’t create space for an unopposed lay-up shot. At times we had to resort to taking an opposed lay-up or a lower percentage set shot this lowered the number of baskets we scored.

Structure of example answer
Name activity Name SSC Due to the speed of the fast break it’s important to make each
player familiar with his/her role in the strategy. It is also important that the team are familiar with how to adapt
and change the strategy as the game progresses This is important when an opposition team work to disrupt a
strategy we are using
Initially we began with a 3 man weave to ensure each player was comfortable passing, communicating, running, filling the lanes wide and using the lay-up shot at speed. As each of these are important for our team to perform the fast break successfully.
From our individual physical and skill related attributes, strengths and weaknesses we allocated positions so that each player was fulfilling the role most suited to them.
Our training program looked to develop our fast break from the development stage to being able to use it in a game.
After our teacher had detailed the format of the fast break strategy which had 3 scoring options, we used unopposed practice to ensure that each player was familiar with the movements of the 3 options, their role and the skills within that role.
We increased the pace of this gradually as we experienced more success
This was quickly followed by using 1 passive and then 2 passive defenders to put some pressure on us and to demonstrate what our actions did to the movement of the defenders.
Then we used a 3 v1 practice with an active defender- who started at the top of their key and only became active when the outlet pass was made.
We progressed this to a 3v2 practice with active defenders who came in from half way, through the centre circle, when the outlet had been made.
This encouraged us to use the width of the court by filling the lanes to create space in the middle and use speed in attack to try and get beyond the defenders before they became active. This contributed a lot to improving our decision making skills, of which fast break to use, depending on the situation.
This level of practice was very game like and a lot of our actions were becoming instinctive and automatic.
Before progressing to the game, we used the continuous fast break practice which involved 3 attackers and 2 defenders at any one time but 15 people were involved. This was very game like as it included the concept of turning defense into attack by initiating the fast break and the defenders were instantly active.
As a drill which was very tiring, it was important for my team to
maintain the quality of the movements, including the width of our attack, even when tiring as this would effect how easy it was to defend against us.
The final practice was a 5v5 conditioned game where we got more points for using the fast break.
All these practices made us familiar with roles we had to play and gradually became more demanding so our confidences improved as we experienced more success and the speed of our fast break increased.
The most important area of the practices was the familiarity of the variations.
The fast break can become very predictable. Our variations ensured any of the three players who undertook the
fast break could finish it by scoring. Each of these players attacked from a different lane, ensuring we
had three different points of attack. This ensured that even if 2 defenders got back, my team were
prepared and ready to adapt our strategy, using good decision making to score using the fast break.
Decision Making
Stop – Traffic Light Decision making in basketball
Name your position, describe your role and main responsibilities within fast break
Identify in chronological order the decisions you had to make when your team used the fast break. Explain the different options that were available when you made each decision.
Discus why you selected the option you did when making decision and what the consequences would have been had you selected a different option.
Explain how your team decided which attacking option to use.

How your team decided which fast break option to use. Your 3 fast break options are 1 decision, you had 3 options to choose from.
Conclusion: Describe why making the correct decision quickly ensured your fast break was successful.
Example Introduction
For the ball to be moved up the court quickly and a scoring opportunity created each player in my team has to be able to make fast instinctive decisions as various performance demands arise. Quick decision making, particularly around the key, speeds up our attack and limits the number of defenders who can get into position. Incisive decision making on what FB option to play also means that those defenders who have recovered will find it extremely difficult to predict what is going to happen. By making quick decisions we can reduce our opponent thinking time, limiting the chances of them taking up a good defensive position and intercepting the ball.
