NCAA Zone Quick Hitters

By Brian Williams on April 13, 2016

A couple of ideas to look at for your zone attack for next season.

I believe that it is a good idea to start thinking about the types of sets that you are looking at running next season.

That way you can fit the types of shots that your players are taking in the spring and summer into those schemes.

These plays are from Wes Kosel’s Playbook “Best Zone Sets from the NCAA.”

It is paired with Coach Kosel’s NCAA Man to Man Sets Playbook as this week’s featured eBook Bundle. You can find out more here: Best NCAA Man to Man & Zone Sets Bundle
