Methodical teaching of the
initiation to collective
systems
(defense end attack)
Basic tactical intentions
That mean to learn the basic principles of the game:
 Attack
• If I have the ball: shoot, progress to goal, pass the ball.
• If I don’t have the ball: to move for received the ball.
 Defense
• Defending the goal
• Recover the ball
Specific tactical intentions
Develop of the individual behaviors in different circumstances of the
game:
 Attack
•
•
•
•
•
•
Choose where and how pass the ball
Choose pass or shoot
What kind of shoot used
Best moment to shoot
Look for and to move to free spaces
Etc.
 Defense
• Work against the opponent (Screening)
• Work related with the ball (Interceptions)
• Collective work (Helping)
We have to develop this behaviors, first of all in global spaces (more
and less reduced) and then practice them on the specific spaces.
Collective means
Coordinated actions between 2 or 3 players. Such as:
 Attack
• Crossing
• Screening
• Pass and go
• Etc.
 Defense
• Taking over (Changing opponents)
• Sliding through
• Etc.
We have to practice them directly on specific spaces.
Once again we have to notice that this movements are also based
on a correct individual tactical.
Collective systems
 Attack
We can develop the knowledge of offensive systems in three steps:
1. General philosophy of the game against different kind of
defenses:
• Closed defenses: Near 6 meters line
• Open defenses: Lot of players out of the first line
• Superiority or inferiority
• Basic idea of fast break
2. Basic combinations against different defenses:
• Transformations of the system
• Basic movements of two backcourt with two pivots
• Backcourt crossing in coordination with pivot
• Changes of the sense the ball in coordination with pivot
• Etc.
3. Specific systematic of each team.
 Defense
The process could be similar to the attack. The principal difference
is that in defense the firs step (General philosophy of open and
closed defenses) is the most important and it mark the develop of
the others.
For that reason we try to explain the general differences between
both kind of basic defenses.
In reality almost all system have some percentage of open and
closed. Any way we try to defined a little more the situation:
We have three aspects to considered:
• The structure: That means the initial positions of the players. We
can distingue three parameters.
» Width
» Depth
» Density
• The general tendency of actions of the players:
• Anticipation
» Reaction
• The general action against different circumstances of the game:
»
»
»
»
Tendency to the ball
Tendency to the opponent
Previous help (Dissuasion)
Help after fellow-player mistake
In the following graphic we can find the general characteristic
of both kind of defenses.
OPEN DEFENSES
All wind of movements, depend of
the specific positions
CLOSED DEFENSES
Particularly lateral movements
Depth but less density and width
Density, probably width, but less
depth
Anticipation
Reaction
Help only after mistakes
Previous help
Individual tendency
Tendency to the ball
If our players have a good performance in the individual tactical
aspect (Screening, Interception, Helping) and they know how to
interpreted them in the different kind of defenses, they could
develop any collective system.
