Sideline Cheat Sheets

Your zone defense. One page. Sideline-ready.

You spent two weeks installing the 2-3 zone. Your players know the rotations. Then a timeout hits — and you're trying to remember who covers the short corner on a skip pass.

The Sideline Cheat Sheets condense your entire zone defense system into a single printable page, designed to live in your coaching binder and give you instant recall when it matters.

What's on the sheet:

• Base Alignment — All 5 positions mapped with their exact role: Point at the top of the key, wings denying entries, elbow covering the short corner, high post anchoring the paint

• Priority Zones — The Green/Orange/Red color system in three clear rules: Contain, Close Out, Collapse. One look, automatic response

• Formations & Rotations — Ball Middle and Ball Side formations with every player's assignment. The BALL. CORNER. BUMP. transition call so your players shift before the pass arrives, not after

• 6 Key Coverage Reads — The six situations your defense will face every game: High Post Catch, Dribble Middle, Swing Pass, Skip to Corner, Baseline Drive, Short Corner Catch — plus the ICE call for on-ball screens

• 3 Game-Ready Drills — Shell Drill, Corner Sprint, High Post Drill. Everything you need before tip-off, not in a binder at home

The game moves fast. This keeps you faster.
