Teaching the Flex Match-Up Zone


Book Description

Within the pages of this book, you will find a detailed approach to teaching a Match Up Zone Defense that has twice the state of Texas in scoring defense. Using man-to-man principles within the concept of a zone defense, Coach Biddison takes you through a step by step process of not only how to run the defense, but how to teach it. In a sense, the Flex Match-Up Zone takes the very best of the man-to-man techniques and combines them with the best zone principles to form a defense that often times confuses the offense. This defense rotates, or flexes, to take on a different shape every time the ball moves or players positions change. The fact that sometimes it appears as a 1-2-2, other times as a 1-3-1, and still other times as a man-to-man defense, literally takes the offense out of their comfort zone.
