Mustang Girl’s
Basketball
2020-2021 Season
Introduction
• CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS! You have made the team
for the Strongsville Mustangs 7th Grade Girls
Basketball.
• My name is Coach Pacholski, you can call me Coach P
and I will be your coach for this season.
• We are the GREEN TEAM so we will follow all
schedules labeled with GREEN.
• In this PowerPoint you will find Team Rules,
Expectations and our on the court plays and schemes.
• Its nothing you girls can’t handle, I promise! (Some
things may change as we go along.)
Team Rules
• Playing time is determined by practice attendance and
effort!
• Everyone on this team is guaranteed to play in each
game if they are in attendance at practice prior to the
game. HOW MUCH you play, is up to you.
• You are to respect and support your teammates and
coaches win or lose and we will do the same.
• All other school rules about behavior and eligibility
including Covid guidelines are also in effect. Please
help us continue and finish our season by following all
of those.
Practices
• These are mandatory!! We need to grow as a team
and we do that during practice.
• If you have something come up, I will include my
email and there will be a google classroom so you can
contact me to let me know.
• This is where I determine who will EARN their time on
the court.
• Make the practices harder than the game!
• Trust me, it makes the games a lot more fun!
Our Defense (Half
Court)
• Our defense will be either a Man-to-Man defense or a
1-3-1 Trap. Below is the 1-3-1 trap to explain it more.
All of this is covered in our practices, this is just to
help you!
• Our goal is to trap the ball and force as many
turnovers as possible. Be aggressive, but smart!
Our Defense (Full
Court)
• Our Full court press will be 2-2-1 until the ball hits half
court. Then either Man-to-Man or 1-3-1. We trap Full
Court too.
Our Offense
• As a base, we will run a 5 out (50) or 3 out 2 in (32)
offense with cutting after we pass each time. Just like
defense, we will cover this in practice. (”Basic Motion”
will be very close to our 32. Small Adjustments.)
