Zone Specials

My favorite zone sets and specials so far this season.

I went through the top 10 offensive teams against Zone Defense according to Synergy to try and steal some of their best sets - here is what I saw. Some teams like San Jose State/Texas Tech & Bellarmine just run zone motion, so I did not use any of that film since I am focusing more on set plays/quick hitters but in the offseason I am going to do a zone offense guide on specific zone motion vs certain defense types (1-3-1, matchup, etc).

So far this season we have only seen zone for a handful of possessions and I felt like it was a weak spot for us going forward. We are gearing up for playoffs and facing a couple of opponents who could possibly play zone a majority of the time so I wanted to dive into some zone offense for specials and quick hitters to add to my playbook. Hopefully, you can take these sets and concepts to use for your team or knowledge for the future as well!
