Drills + Explanations

Coach White starts by explaining each drill through a whiteboard chat. This method of teaching is a fantastic way to hear what she considers as the drill is put together. Her instruction during these sessions is fantastic and helps explain so many aspects of her continuity on-ball screening offense.

Next, White takes the action to the court to demonstrate every drill that was outlined in the whiteboard talk. This multi-modality approach to teaching will help you better understand the concepts and drills presented. Some of the actions that are taught in Coach White's drills include:

• Drive & Kick
• High-Low Post-Ups
• Double Ball Screening
• Post Dives
• Pick & Pops

Sets & Ball Screen Tips

You'll see two different sets for this offense. Twist is the initial set demonstrated. With Twist, you get some great ball screen action that leads to post-up opportunities, and Coach White also shows counters for when the initial post-up is denied.

The next set presented is Double, which starts with a double ball screen. One screener slips and the other rolls, but both players become scoring threats. This double screen action is incredibly difficult to stop. Another great aspect to Double is that it can right into Twist! This is a fantastic way to minimize the amount of learning your players will have to do, while still keeping the defense on their heels.

Another great part of this video is the teaching of specific skills related to ball screening. Coach White talks about proper footwork, screen angles, sealing on the high-low and cutting in sharp lines. These directions are great if you run any type of ball screen offense.

If you're looking for a disciplined offense to get your players high-percentage looks at the basket, then this video is for you. Coach White breaks down the drills necessary to learn her continuity on-ball screening high-low offense and you'll be able to immediately implement the exercises with your own team.
