Division 3 Zone Set Plays by Wes Kosel
Attached in this playbook are 6 zone set plays that we saw in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play last season. The playbook includes four set plays and two baseline out-of-bounds plays. Our conference opponents play a significant amount of zone defense, especially in out-of-bounds situations. The most common zone that we see during conference play is a 2-3 defense.
Division 3 Zone Set Plays – Zone (2-3) Offense
1 passes to 2 then cuts to the right corner. 3 replaces 1 and gets the ball from 2. 3 looks to pass inside to 5 flashing to the elbow. If the bottom zone defender jumps out to the corner 5 looks to make the quick pass to 4 at the block.

1 passes to 2 on the wing. 4 and 5 move down to the block and corner from the elbows. 2 passes back to 1 then 1 dribbles left. 5 flashes high and gets the pass from 1. 4 sets a flare-screen for 2.
