Using FastDraw as an educational tool, this video is a tutorial on the fundamentals of a basic element of motion offense – the Flare Screen.
The flare screen is one of the most common screens in four-out motion offense. Setting the screen properly and with excellent timing adds a dangerous element to your offensive attack.
Coaching and teaching points include:
- When to use the flare
- Screening angle and posture
- Setting up the cut
- Reading the flare screen
- Maintaining spacing after the flare is set
- Much more!
