basketball offense and defense. This incremental teaching goal, even with six-year olds,
can be easily achieved.

How we teach is an important basketball fundamentals is important.
Incremental, or progressive, teaching is easily adapted to athletics. Here are
the steps:
- Explain the drill.
- Walk through the drill, paying attention to form without competition or
speed.
- Drill for speed and form.
- Drill for speed and form adding a single defender.
- Drill for speed and form adding the second defender.

the defense. Stress doing what the defense lets you do.
- Drill and smooth-out the rough spots and elevate the skill level.

Pass, Roll off
Screen and Return to Screener. Player 2 executes the two-step rule,
faking a cut toward the basket and cutting back outside, taking a pass from
player 1. Player 1, after taking a step to his left and moves toward player
2 as if to set a screen, but drops behind 2 for the return pass and instead
of shooting over the screen by player 2, he dribble drives. At the same
time, player 2 rolls off the screen he set for 1 and takes a return pass
from 1 for a lay-up. Player 1 rebounds the ball.
