My teams defensive strategy is to make sure to get back on defense on a turnover to limit fast breaks. At our age, playing with many different levels of skilled players, baskets will be stopped by defending against the fast break. This will benefit my team because we are not the best passers or ball handlers but we are very quick.

Kyle Weissenburger,
My teams defensive strategy can help us make us successful by playing good solid man defense. We are good shooters and we must strap up man to man to not allow any easy shots. But, if we are getting tired we should go back to a 2-3 zone defense to give us some rest and not allow drives for good driving teams.

Having good defense on five one five translates into easy fastbreak points. I think that my team should run a 3-2 defense because as soon as a team mate gets the ball, he has two outlets plus a guy to throw to long who has an easy layup th make.

My teams defensive strategy is a fast paced man to man where we jump our opponent early and often providing pressure and intimidating our opponents enough to force turnovers. We have no weaknesses we are all fit enough to run a pressure oriented man defense.

The best 5v5 defensive strategy is man to man becuase we are ab athletic team and every one on our team is able to stop their man without help. Defnese is very important because defensive stops lead to easy scoring opportunities for your team.

Our defensive strategy will play a big role on our team's success. I think our defense should play a zone, because we don't have the tallest or fastest guys on our team, so i'm not sure we will be able to keep up with the other teams if we play a man defense. A zone defense would really help our team on defense and a 2-3 zone is the best type of defense for us to play.

we have good defense in the 5V5
in my team we have strong center,so we can play a 3-2 three people offensive and the other two play defense this is the best way to offense and defense

I think we need to play man to man defense so that we have more oppurtunities for steals and blocks which will get us some fast break points and the offensive end.

I don't have a team yet [because I was out] but a good defensive strategy is going to result in rebounds [hopefully], which means more offensive opportunities. So even if you're team sucks at finishing, you can still get some points up while keeping the other team's points down.

Our strategy is to play a man to man defense.A 2 3 zone wouldn't work because we have to have chemistry and communication, which we don't have. Playing good defense is key to winning because it means we don't have to score a lot of points.

My defensive startagy is to stay close to my defender and and try to steal the ball while still being able to not alow him to get by for example i still the ball from Greg all the time. we lack effort and take alot of 3's and not many inside shots and it shows with are 1-4 record

willie- in 5 on 5 the best defense is each person picking one man to cover so every has someone and no one will be able to take any easy lay ups or shots. also communicating with your team is very important because since theres 5 people you gotta make sure what everyones doing and if want the ball you should call out pass me the rock or tell your teammates if the balls about to get stolen from them again communication is important in 5 on 5 games

If you have a good defense then it will be easier to play on the ofensive end and the team can actualy function. I think the best way for our team to play is to use the 2-3 zone and since we don't have many shot blockers we should probaly try stealing the ball more often.

In the 5v5 games our team does man to man. It helps to communicate to your teammates such as if there is a pick you can call out the pick to your teammate to help your team be successful. This helps our team because we are well balanced and are athletic enough to stick with our man.

Now that we have started our 5 vs. 5 unit, my team has to be strong in its defense now if we want to dominate the other team. Having a good defense, for example man to man defense, will cause the other team to hesitate and make quick unthinkable moves/plays which can lead to a bad pass/shot. This will frustrate the other team most likely casuing them to keep making bad plays. My team should play man to man defense because it will cause a lot of pressure to the other team and also my team has to play a good offense just to dominate the game. The only weakness my team has is bad passing which we just have to work on.

For the games of 5 on 5, it's important to evenly distribute the offense and defense of a team. The stronger offensive players focus more on playing close to the opponents' basket while the defensive players make it a priority to recover the ball and give it to the offense.

By seeing how the other team playes, we can decide if we should play a zone defense or a man defence. our team over all is good at zone and man, but i would say that we are a better zone defense team

Defensive strategy is very important to win games. I think that our team's defense should be a 2-1-2 zone. We have good height with David so we should center our defense around him by putting him in the middle where he can rebound and block shots and the two at the top can help contest threes.

Our teams defensive strategy to put pressure on the ball and get steals through our full court man to man defense. This will help our team make our opponents make turnovers which can lead to fastbreak points.
