Kresse Continuity Zone Offense

Get over it. Teams play zone because they value winning...whether it's higher level ball or fifth grade. We can blame, complain, and defend (our failure) or we can develop counters. 

I teach the acronym "Dr. FLAPS" about zone attack. Dribble into gaps, Reversal, Flash, Post ups, and Screens. But organized player and ball movement can pressure weak parts of the zone. 

John Kresse and Richard Jablonski wrote Attacking Zone Defenses and I want to share one of their continuity offenses against the 2-3 (which we most often see). I have include an option for the wing to cut through depending on her read. 

Pressure on the top of the zone. If 5 gets the ball, she has a shot, quick look inside, or passes to each wing. I've heard it said that "the ball is a camera and players need to find a way for the camera to see them." 

The weak side wing flash pressures the middle. 

Ball reversal moves the zone and the weak side 'big' cuts to the short corner.
