Today's Theme - Box Offense

The Box set has been around for a long time and has been used at every level - professional and collegiate levels, as well as at the high school, middle school and youth levels.  The Box-set is very adaptable to almost any offense.  It starts with the two wing (perimeter) players O2 and O3 starting on the low blocks, and the post players O4 and O5 starting at the elbows, with O1 on the top.  From this box-set you can run numerous set plays, or easily flow into the horns set, or the 1-4 high, 1-2-2, or 3-out 2-in sets.

Here are some helpful articles full of plays that use the box set.
