Seventh Graders CAN Execute Simple NBA Plays

Our primary offense is whatever the 7th-grade girls version of 'The System' is. But sometimes we do run simple plays that generate quality scoring chances for the girls. It's even better when it's not a 'play' per se, but improvisation a.k.a. playing basketball.

Here are a few that require minimal insight:

More than simple...horns into simple back cut (high-low action) as X4 defender anticipated backscreen for 1. 

In the perfect world, our 5 is a power 3. Most X5 defenders aren't expecting the screen from the 4.

We were up about seven with about 2:30 left and I called a timeout to run a Warriors play. The girls ran the play perfectly, including looking off the entry pass. Game over.
