I use the 1-3-1 similier to this sometimes against a team not that great on dribbling or passing. I let the point guard be the point player or chaser here.I also let the opposing team get 1 pass in and then we attack right away. Be careful and watch for ball reversal. |

Remember you are dealing with the youth here,they cannot pass full court because of their size. The 1 and 2 push the ball to the side lines and trap when ever the opposing point picks up her dribble. |

If the 1 passes off to the 3,have your point guard cover the 3 and put hard pressure on her. By this time the offense is fighting the clock and us.The 10 seconds to get the ball across halfcourt is running out. |

the 1 and 3 trap the ballhandler on the side lines here.The 4 looks to take away the short middle pass,the 5 looks to take away the short sideline pass,the 2 looks to take away the short middle court pass. Unless you go against a team with a "rocket"point guard,you will do ok most of the time.Against a team not well coached or kids who have never seen this before they probally will only get the ball past midcourt a few times a game. |

if you cannot get the ballhandler to the sidelines,you must double team them center court area.

all ways watch for ball reversal. allways put hard pressure on the ball. allways look out for the time factor. allways be looking for a pass to pick off and layup. |

here`s a little tip have your frontline players allways be ready to break to the basket for a fast break.Don`t wait for a turnover,you must expect them and be ready.Frame 8 -9 will show you what I mean.Say the 1 and 2 cannot steal the ball from the offense 1..the offense 1 trys a desperation pass to the 2,well our 3 is expecting it and picks it off and lays it up. |

in frame 10 we see what happens when the 1 or 2 steal the ball

here we see the 3 expecting a steal from the 1 or 2 players.The 3 moves on downcourt enough to get the jump on the offensive 2 player and the 1 if she steals the ball should pass right away ,no dribbling unless nessacery. I am posting on the message board other things about the 1-3-1 press,read those and put it with these diagrams. |
