Basic Offensive Sets for Youth Basketball

Every basketball offense starts with the general placement of your players in their positions upon the court in relation to one another and the goal. The following diagrams show this to you in detail. These diagrams were not designed to give coaches the movement of the offense. You can find all you need of that on our Simple Offenses for Youth page. These were specifically designed for novice coaches who may have gotten volunteered to coach their child's team. Follow the links at the bottom of the page to find more offensive weapons like SET PLAYS and INBOUNDS.

The first, is what we call a basic 2Guard-2Forward-Center Offense. And second is the 3Guard-2Forward, probably the most common of all Offensive sets.You will see Simply Youth Basketball's Offenses concentrate mainly on these two types of set-up's.

The third and last one, the 1-4, we have not seen used very often, but I have seen it be very effective against a good zone defense.

DIAGRAM #1: 2 Guard-2 Forward- Center



DIAGRAM #2: Basic 3 Guard-2 Forward



DIAGRAM #3: 1-4 Offensive Set
