3-2 Zone Basketball Plays

 

 

The 3-2 zone basketball defense is designed to contest 3 point shooters while still protecting the paint. If you have more size than your opponent and you are a pretty good shooting team, you may face some 3-2 zone (if they have this in their defensive arsenal). Even though a 3-2 zone defense isn’t very common, it is important that you still have some basketball plays to use, just in case you face one.

 

 

Executing 3-2 Zone Basketball Plays

The weak spots against a 3-2 zone defense will be in the corners and the free-throw line area. So you must move the ball from side to side and get player movement in and out of those areas.

On a quick reversal, you can also drive a gap for a shot or kick out. Just make sure that the player does not over-penetrate and get stuck inside the zone where there will be a lot of reaching hands.

 

Every one of our basketball plays comes with a clipped video and written instructions on executing the play. When you are finished viewing all of our free basketball plays, sign up for our Pro Membership and get access to the rest of the site.
