COMBINE OFFENSE

COMBINE DEFENSE

Combine Defensive Rules

1. Play tight on the ball - Trace the ball, Force a hard dribble on the pass, Jump to the ball to prevent the pass-back.

2. Move with the direction of the ball and the angle of the ball.

3. Deny the passing lane when you are one pass away from the ball (don't stay tight on your man and don't get split).

4. TRAP, TRAP, TRAP when you are 1 or 2 steps from the ball, when your man passes and screens away, and when the ball handler's head is turned.

5. Always FRONT the post.

6. Weakside plays basket even (help/clog the paint).

7. Lockdown in the paint.  Deny all flashes and entries.

8. Box out EVERY play.

9. Tie up everything in the paint.  Big men drop the ball.

10. Mindset is HELP, CLOG, ATTACK.

Bonus: Use your lead hand to jab at the ball.  Trace the ball and don't swipe down.  Use run-throughs to attack the offense.  


4-2-1 Full PRESS and 2-1-2 Zone Press

​Philosophies:
​- Why let a team bring the ball up without having to make one decision???

- Against better teams, play it soft and don't give up anything easy out of it!!!

- Move with the ball at the angle of the ball (while the ball is in the air).

- Always give up the reverse pass but take away the middle!!! 

- Make them make decisions!!!

- Middle is guarded as a tight man-to-man.  Deny him!!!

- Front two guards are a soft zone.

- Back guys are playing 50/50 which is a distance where a passer MIGHT be able to get it to them but is not 100% certain (that's why its 50/50).

- Even playing it soft will get you a few turnovers a game!

Three Training Programs...Two Basketball Organizations...One Clear Goal

The Basketball Combine Program represents a very unique and specialized basketball training program, co-developed by two companies The Hills Basketball Club and SoCal Hoops Basketball Academy.  The two companies and their related coaching staffs collaborated for several months with the goal of developing an effective basketball training curriculum targeted for middle and high school athletes, offering an intense and rigorous 8-week basketball training program focused on skill development and game strategy.  During the training program, players will develop their basketball fundamentals and learn how to analyze game situations and make the correct on court decisions (read and react).  Players will also get to play in structured games and be given the necessary analytical tools to understand, assess, and critique their on court performance and player efficiency rating.  In addition, players can participate in shooting clinics to further improve their skills.  By participating in the program and specialized training sessions, players will gain a true assessment of their ability to play at the next level, and be given the platform to continually develop their skills.

​“With the new partnership with SCHBA, the coaching staff focuses on teaching and analyzing the game of basketball rather than just playing the game with no strategy or intent,” said Don Loperena – President and Founder of The Hills Basketball Club.  “I’ve been playing and coaching the game of basketball for over 20 years and know through my experience that any team can compete and win, even if they don’t match up physically and athletically with other teams.  There are not a lot of basketball players with the unique ability to quickly and effectively “analyze, read, and react” to game situations and make the correct basketball decisions.  We will always teach core basketball fundamentals, while providing players with the advanced thought process to make effective game decisions.  We've fine tuned our training program by offering specialized shooting clinics to further develop player skills.  Our program is truly one of a kind.”
