The aim of the Fast Break
Did you get it correct?
To quickly move the ball up court to the oppositions key and
set up a free shot (lay-up) before the opposition get back to
set up a defence, allowing our unmarked forward to score
with a lay-up
The 2 Key Principles of Attack
There are 2 key principles required for a successful Fast Break:
What are they? Fill in the blanks
Speed:
Speed allows you to get up the court before
the opposition have time to set up a defence.
Width:
By creating width you can spread out any defenders
that get back creating more space around the basket
and space for the point guard to drive up the
middle of the court.
Describe the Fast Break
1. Centre blocks out opponent and wins defensive rebound.
2. Centre makes an ‘outlet pass’ to the Point Guard who has cut from his
defensive position at the top of the key to the side of the key to avoid the
traffic in the key.
3. Point Guard drives down the centre lane of the court at speed.
4. Centre overlaps point guard to fill the right lane.
5. Left lane is filled by the Forward.
6. All 3 players have now ‘filled the lanes’ (width).
7. Once the Point Guard has reached the top of the key they pass to the
Forward who scores a lay-up shot.
8. The Centre cuts into the basket to win the rebound if the shot is missed.
Strengths of the Fast Break
 If done with speed you can reach your opponents key before their defence
are set up, giving your forward an unopposed lay-up.
 Finishes with a lay-up shot – easiest shot meaning lots of baskets.
 ‘Filling the lanes’ spreads any defenders out, creating space for point
guard to dribble at speed and space for forward to dribble into when
scoring lay-up.
 Simple strategy to understand and use in games, can also be easily
adapted.
 Pass to centre instead of forward
 Point Guard dribble in to score lay-up
 Pass to centre who plays reverse pass to forward
Weaknesses of the Fast Break
1. You have to perform skills quickly which means that if your skill level is not
high then you make lots of mistakes e.g. misplace your pass, drop the ball
2. Tiring if you use it for the whole game.
3. If used repeatedly it can be predictable. If the defence know what is coming
they will be more organised and will intercept the ball more.
4. Team weaknesses
 Example 1: Centre is not good enough to win defensive
rebounds which means the attack can’t start.
 Example 2: PG can’t dribble quick enough so the defence
has time to set up.

Structure
• Introduction
• Why factor chosen is important within fast break
• How weakness affects your performance (negatively) / How strength has
a positive impact on performance. Performance examples must be used
throughout.
Speed
Why speed is important within fast break
• Speed is a vital element of the Fast break
• Moving up the court quickly maximising the opportunity of numerical superiority. If
there are few or no defenders this gives an excellent opportunity to shoot and score an
unopposed lay-up. Creating the opportunity for a lay-up is advantageous as it is taken
close to the basket and therefore has a high success rate.
How weakness affects your performance (negatively)
• When my team attempted to move up the court with speed we lost control of the ball
(e.g. misplaced pass) due to our low skill level. To offset this we began moving up the
court more slowly. Unfortunately this resulted in the opposition having more time to
set up their defence.
• With defenders now in our way we couldn’t create space for an unopposed lay-up shot.
At times we had to resort to taking an opposed lay-up or a lower percentage set shot.
Quick Decision Making
Why Decision Making is important within fast break
• For the ball to be moved quickly up the court and a scoring opportunity to be created
against any defenders who may be in position a team must make fast and instinctive
decisions as various performance demands arise.
• Quick decision making, particularly around the key, speeds up the whole attack and limits
the number of defenders who can get into position.
• Incisive decision making on what FB option to play also means that those defenders who
have recovered will find it extremely difficult to predict what is going to happen.
• Reducing the opponent thinking time limits the chances of them taking up a good
defensive position and intercepting the ball.
Quick Decision Making (contd)
How weakness affects your performance (negatively)
• When my team had been quick enough up the court that no defenders were set up we had
few decisions to make and easily scored a basket.
• However, as the number of defenders increased the slower our FB became. Having to
make decisions as the game unfolded was difficult. We sometimes made the wrong
decision under pressure resulting in a misplaced pass or an uncontrolled dribble.
• More often however we took too long to make a decision at all. This gave the opposition
more time to get back into position and a greater chance to intercept the ball. It also
made our play more predictable and less successful.
Strengths
Why Width Making is important within fast break
• Width is created during the fast break by the Centre and Forward filling the wide lanes either side of the Point
Guard.
• Filling all three lanes not only gives the ball carrier more passing options but gives any defenders in place more
space to cover by pulling them out of the key
• The space created can now be used by the PG to drive into themselves or by the C or F who can receive a pass and
score a lay-up as they cut in from the left or right lane.
How strength affects your performance (positively)
• During the fast break my team would regularly fill all 3 lanes. This meant that as we moved up court
we would be pulling defenders away from the middle lane and the key.
• When we crossed into our opponents half the PG was in the middle lane with the C wide on the
right and the forward slightly ahead in the wide left lane. This successfully increased the space the
opposition had to defend and ensured there was space around the key for us to drive in to. As a
result we were able to finish our attack with a lay-up which is a high percentage shot meaning we
tended to score.

Model Answer
Introduction
 Name activity
 Name SSC
 Due to the speed of the fast break it s important to make each player familiar with
his/her role in the strategy.
 It is also important that the team are familiar with how to adapt and change the strategy
as the game progresses
 This is important when an opposition team work to disrupt a strategy we are using
3 ManWeave
 Initially we began with a 3 man weave to ensure each player was comfortable passing,
communicating, running, filling the lanes wide and using the lay-up shot at speed. As
each of these are important for our team to perform the fast break successfully.
Two Man Fast Break
• Once we grasped the concept of using all three lanes and performing the required skills at speed we
progressed to a two man fast break.
• One player would rebound the ball off the back board. At the this point the second player cut wide
from the top of the key to the wide channel to receive the outlet pass. He/she then dribbled up the
middle lane at speed with the second player overlapping them to fill the right lane.
• When the ball player reached the opponents key they passed to their partner in the wide lane who
cut in to score with a lay-up.
Three Man Fast Break
• From our individual physical and skill related attributes, strengths and weaknesses we allocated
positions so that each player was fulfilling the role most suited to them.
• Our training program looked to develop our fast break from the development stage to being able to
use it in a game.
• After our teacher had detailed the format of the fast break strategy which had 3 scoring options, we
used unopposed practice to ensure that each player was familiar with the movements of the 3
options, their role and the skills within that role.
• We increased the pace of this gradually as we experienced more success
Adding Defenders
• As we experienced success performing the fast break unopposed we quickly added a
passive defender to put some pressure on us and to demonstrate what our actions did to
the movement of the defenders.
• Then we used a 3 v1 practice with an active defender- who started at the top of their key
and only became active when the outlet pass was made.
• We progressed this to a 3v2 practice with one active and one passive defender firstly then
eventually two active defenders who came in from half way when the outlet had been
made.
• This encouraged us to use the width of the court by filling the lanes to create space in the
middle and use speed in attack to try and get beyond the defenders before they became
active. This contributed a lot to improving our decision making skills, of which fast break
to use, depending on the situation.
• This level of practice was very game like and a lot of our actions were becoming
instinctive and automatic.
Continuous Fast Break
• Before progressing to the game, we used the continuous fast break practice which
involved 3 attackers and 2 defenders at any one time but a number of other players were
involved. This was very game like as it included the concept of turning defense into attack
by initiating the fast break and the defenders were instantly active.
• As a drill which was very tiring, it was important for my team to maintain the quality of
the movements, including the width of our attack, even when tiring as this would effect
how easy it was to defend against us.
Conditioned Games
• The final practice was a 5v5 conditioned game this is where we adapted the rules of
basketball to encourage each team to use the fast break.
• One of our initial conditions was to make the attacking team touch the wall after
shooting before they were allowed to defend. This enabled the defending team to win an
unopposed rebound before setting up their fast breakWe progressed this to……..
• Another conditioned game was to award extra points to a team who successfully scored
using a fast break
• All these practices made us familiar with roles we had to play and gradually became more
demanding so our confidences improved as we experienced more success and the speed
of our fast break increased.
• However, the most important area of the practices was the familiarity of the variations.
• The fast break can become very predictable.
• Our variations ensured any of the three players who undertook the fast break could finish
it by scoring.
• Each of these players attacked from a different lane, ensuring we had three different
points of attack.
• This ensured that even if 2 defenders got back, my team were prepared and ready to
adapt our strategy, using good decision making to score using the fast break.

Introduction - Set the scene.
From my initial and focussed data I was able to identify strengths and weaknesses in my
teams performance. Of greatest concern to me was our fast break. By using the Fast Break
analysis observation schedule and each player completing a role effectiveness observation
schedule I was able to identify strengths and weakness in the fast break. We had two main
strengths these were width and decision making. Our performance also had two weaknesses
variation and speed.
Weakness 1 – Speed
Explain why speed is important
Speed is a vital element of the Fast break. Moving up the court quickly maximising the
opportunity of numerical superiority. If there are few or no defenders this gives an
excellent opportunity to shoot and score an unopposed lay-up. Creating the opportunity for
a lay-up is advantageous as it is taken close to the basket and therefore has a high success rate.
Discuss how a lack of speed affected performance
When my team attempted to move up the court with speed we lost control of the ball (e.g.
misplaced pass) due to our low skill level. To offset this we began moving up the court
more slowly. Unfortunately this resulted in the opposition having more time to set up their
defence. With defenders now in our way we couldn’t create space for an unopposed lay-up
shot. At times we had to resort to taking an opposed lay-up or a lower percentage set shot
this lowered the number of baskets we scored.
Explain why variation is important
Variation is a vital element of the Fast break. By having a variety of options available to our
point guard we are able to maximise our chances of scoring an unopposed lay-up. If the
defence read our play and get back and set up the point guard is able to use a different
option. By having a variety of options available we can vary our attack, this will prevent it
becoming predictable.
Discuss how a lack of variation affected performance
My team had a limited number of fast break options. This meant that the defence were able
to very quickly respond to the option called and mark the appropriate player. This often
resulted in our fast break either slowing down, players attempting to score with a lay-up
when marked which was not successful or the pass being intercepted.
Explain why decision making is important
For the ball to be moved quickly up the court and a scoring opportunity created against any
defenders who may be in position a team must make a number of decisions as various
performance demands arise. Decision making, particularly when rebounding and around
the key, prevents interceptions and limits the number of defenders who can get into
position. Incisive decision making when winning the defensive rebound ensures that we are
able to locate and make a quick outlet to the point guard who can break up court. When
attacking the opponents key making the correct decision ensure we select the correct fast
break option in response to the defenders actions. If the defence are able to get back and set
up it’s vital that players make the correct decision to ensure our attack continues. By
making the correct decision quickly we can avoid interceptions and reduce the opponent
thinking time, limits the chances of them taking up a good defensive position.
Discuss how making good decisions affected performance
Our centre was very good at winning the rebound and locating the point guard who had cut
out wide to receive the outlet pass. By making the correct decision at this stage we were
able to start a fast break every time we won the defensive rebound. When my team had
been quick enough up the court that no defenders were set up we had few decisions to make
and easily scored a basket. However, as we slowed our fast break down to combat our poor
skill level the number of defenders increased. Luckily when in possession of the ball our
team tended to make the correct decision and reverse the ball back to the point guard who
could call a set play. This ensured we were able to continue with our attack.
Why Width is important within fast break
Width is created during the fast break by the Centre and Forward filling the wide lanes
either side of the Point Guard. Filling all three lanes not only gives the ball carrier more
passing options but gives any defenders in place more space to cover by pulling them out of
the key. The space created can now be used by the PG to drive into themselves or by the C
or F who can receive a pass and score a lay-up as they cut in from the left or right lane.
How width affected fast break.
During the fast break my team would regularly fill all 3 lanes. This meant that when we did
have a successful fast break we pulled defenders away from the middle lane and the key.
When we crossed into our opponents half the PG was in the middle lane with the C wide on
the right and the forward slightly ahead in the wide left lane. This successfully increased the
space the opposition had to defend and ensured there was space around the key for us to
drive in to. As a result when we were able to break up court at speed we could finish our
attack with a lay-up which is a high percentage shot meaning we tended to score.
Also when we did not break up court with speed or found the defence had marked up we
discovered that we had pulled some of the defenders away from the centre of the key. This
meant that when we used our set play their was space for players to move into.
Discuss how a lack of variation affected performance
My team had a limited number of fast break options. This meant that the defence were able
to very quickly respond to the option called and mark the appropriate player. This often
resulted in our fast break either slowing down, players attempting to score with a lay-up
when marked which was not successful or the pass being intercepted.
Explain why decision making is important
For the ball to be moved quickly up the court and a scoring opportunity created against any
defenders who may be in position a team must make a number of decisions as various
performance demands arise. Decision making, particularly when rebounding and around
the key, prevents interceptions and limits the number of defenders who can get into
position. Incisive decision making when winning the defensive rebound ensures that we are
able to locate and make a quick outlet to the point guard who can break up court. When
attacking the opponents key making the correct decision ensure we select the correct fast
break option in response to the defenders actions. If the defence are able to get back and set
up it’s vital that players make the correct decision to ensure our attack continues. By
making the correct decision quickly we can avoid interceptions and reduce the opponent
thinking time, limits the chances of them taking up a good defensive position.

had to make during performance to ensure you carried out your role effectively.
(6)
Introduction
For the ball to be moved up the court quickly and a scoring opportunity created each player in
my team has to be able to make fast instinctive decisions as various performance demands
arise. Quick decision making, particularly around the key, speeds up our attack and limits the
number of defenders who can get into position. Incisive decision making on what FB option
to play also means that those defenders who have recovered will find it extremely difficult to
predict what is going to happen. By making quick decisions we can reduce our opponent
thinking time, limiting the chances of them taking up a good defensive position and
intercepting the ball.
Remember...
