Zone Defense

We will be incorporating some minor basketball changes to our Junior Boys, Junior Girls and Senior Girls levels.  During your scheduled practice time, you will work on dribbling, passing and playing as a team.   We will teach them the Zone Defense, which we feel, will assist the players in playing like a team.  Along with the zone defense, there will be no double-teaming an opponent.  This will encourage the offensive team to do more passing and the defensive team to do less fouling.  The Referee will issue a warning then impose a foul on the second player causing the double-teaming.  This warning is at the discretion of the Referee.   He does not have to issue a warning.

 An example of the Zone Defense is below:

 Each player on defense defends an area instead of a person.
