4. Q1 Description of SSC Introduction - Chosen SSC Name SSC: Aim of SSC: Players involved: Speed & Width Explain why speed is essential: Explain how width is created: Explain why width is essential: How does width ensure variation: Gaining Possession – Transition from defence to attack Describe the defensive position of the players: Explain how the centre gains possession: Explain and justify the movements of players when centre gains possession: Description of fastbreak Describe the movements of all three players in DETAIL: Explain and justify the movements of the three players in DETAIL: Explain variation of options: Explain how point guard selects option:

5. Q2 Roles and responsibilities within chosen SSC Fastbreak Introduction Name SSC: Aim of SSC: Players involved: Name position you play: Explain why speed is essential to fastbreak and your role: Explain how you create width: Explain why width is essential to fastbreak and your role: How does you ensure variation: Role and Responsibilities Role Explain your role within SSC in detail: What are your responsibilities: Skill Qualities What Skill Qualities do you require: Performance examples to support each skill quality: Physical Qualities What Physical Qualities do you require: Performance examples to support each physical quality: Special Qualities What Special Qualities do you require: Performance examples to support each special quality:

6. Q3 Gathering data on your chosen SSC General Data Name of 1 st observation: Strategy Analysis Focus of obs. schedule: Key word for description: Key words for why appropriate: What general strength did you discover: Why did you want to know strengths? What general weakness did it suggest: Specific Data Name of Specific Observation: Focus of obs. schedule: Key word for description: Key words for why appropriate: What specific weaknesses were highlighted: Name of second specific Observation: Focus of obs. schedule: Key word for description: Key words for why appropriate: What specific weaknesses were highlighted:

7. Q4 Strengths and Weaknesses of SSC Strength 1 Identify strength: Explain why factor necessary: Explain why consider it to be a strength: Performance example of positive impact: Weakness 1 Identify Weakness: Explain why factor necessary: Explain why consider it to be a Weakness: Performance example of negative impact: Introduction Initially general data indicated : Name general strengths and weaknesses Specific data highlighted: Fastbreak Identify strengths & weaknesses of your teams Fastbreak: Strength 2 Identify strength: Explain why factor necessary: Explain why consider it to be a strength: Performance example of positive impact: Weakness 2 Identify Weakness: Explain why factor necessary: Explain why consider it to be a Weakness: Performance example of negative impact:

8. Q5 Decision making in your SSC Introduction Name SSC: Aim of SSC: Why is quick decision making required: How does making quick decision put pressure on opposition: Name your position within SSC: Point Guard 1.Cut wide from top of key 2.Receive outlet pass 3.Dribble up middle lane at speed 4.Communicate Fast break option 5.Select fast break option 6.Take up attacking position a top of key Centre 1.Anticipate rebound 2.Jump to block out opponent, win rebound at peek of jump 3.Out let pass to PG 4.Fill left lane 5.Move up court at speed 6.Create space & prepare to rebound if lay-up missed (option 1&3) 7.Perform lay-up (option 2) Forward 1.Fill right lane 2.Be available for outlet pass if centre can not pass to PG 3.Fill right lane 4.Move up court at speed 5.Perform lay-up (option 1) 6.Create space & prepare to rebound if lay-up missed (option 2&3) Key decisions within your role Identify key decision:Explain what your options were: Explain why you chose particular option/ Why was decision made correct: Consequences of not making correct decision: Team Fastbreak decision Explain why chose fastbreak: Other options available: Options available within your fastbreak (i.e. 1/2/3): What influenced your option choice within fastbreak (i.e. 1/2/3): Consequences of not selecting correct fastbreak option:

9. Q6 The importance of team principles / tactical and design elements. Speed Define attacking principle of speed: Why is speed essential in fastbreak: Performance examples of how you use speed: Decision Making Define attacking principle of decision making: Why is decision making essential in fastbreak: Performance examples of how you use decision making: Variation Define attacking principle of variation: Why is variation essential in fastbreak: Performance examples of how you use variation: Width Define attacking principle of width: Why is width essential in fastbreak: Performance examples of how you use width: Creativity Define attacking principle of creativity: Why is creativity essential in fastbreak: Performance examples of how you use creativity:

10. Q8 Programme of work to develop SSC Introduction: Depending on previous questions Explain purpose of fastbreak: What are the key principles of attack you need to consider: Or Explain weaknesses identified through specific data gathering: Explain that you used gradual build up to develop SSC/overcome weaknesses Explain why you used gradual build up: Finished with conditioned games: Practice 1 Describe the 2 man fast break Explain the adaptations you made: What was the success criteria: Explain that this practice focussed on: Speed – Width Rebound – Speed - Width Practice 2 Describe the 3 man fast break Explain the adaptations you made to make the practice increasingly more game like: What was the success criteria: Explain that you added extra options and why (depends on future questions) Explain that this practice focussed on: Width – Speed Width – Speed-Skill Execution Skill Execution-Decision making Practice 3 Describe the continuous fast break Explain that the continuous fastbreak was the most game like practice without going into a 5v5 game Explain that this practice focussed on: Transition from defence to attack Speed-Width Decision making Skill execution Practice 4 Describe conditioned games: Explain the conditions you applied, and why they were appropriate: Explain that this practice focussed on: Executing the fastbreak effectively in a game like situation

11. Q9 Adapting or changing a SSC. Introduction: Depending on previous questions Explain why it is necessary to adapt change your SSC i.e. What weaknesses identified through specific data gathering: Impact of these weaknesses during game: Give performance example to support: Adaptations / Changes What changes was it necessary to make to overcome weaknesses: Increase width Improve variation Increase speed of attack How did you develop your performance to ensure you could apply these changes: 3 man fastbreak / Continuous FB / Conditioned games Impact of improving width Explain how increasing width created space and allowed variation Explain how the variations allowed you to score from each lane Explain how creating space and using variation put more pressure on defence Impact on speed of fastbreak Explain how the above steps helped you to work at speed More space = less pressure on skill level – why a benefit? More space = increase in speed – why? More space = less pressure on decision making – how does decision making impact on speed
