Last week we talked about the merits of playing zone defense in youth basketball. In today's 12 minute coaching helper we go to the other side of the ball - offense. We talk about the keys to a great zone offense.

Below are some of the keys we dissect:

- How to create mini 3-on-2 and 2-on-1 advantages.

- Using pass fakes.

- Who's flashing middle?

- Attacking gaps.

- Passing angles.

- Does screening the zone work?

- Hit the glass!
