Play Smart

Good Teams play smart

Excellent strategies are useless
when you cannot read the game
1) Look at the basket and judge how far you are from it.
By doing that, you are assessing the situation, at the same time knowing where your outlet passes can be.
2) Team work is necessary, however when you are at penalty line or nearer to the basket, it is your duty to score. Passing to someone less than 1 metre within red zone is being irresponsible.
3) Communication helps to promote self focus and team spirit. Calling out, using hand signals, eye contact facilitates team play.
