#1 brings the ball over half court to start the play in motion. Once #1 has dribble over the half court mark #4 sets a pick for #3 to break out to the wing and #5 flashes to the free throw line for the pass. The first option should be #5.
2
If #5 is not open for the pass then #1 will pass to #3. When the pass goes to #3, #2 will set a pick for #1 for the break to the basket. #4 is posting hard at the block for a possible pass and #5 is the security blanket for the entire play. If #3 gets stuck and doesn't have anyone to pass it to she can always go to #5 and the play continues the exact same way. The option to #4 is always there depending on her willingness to "duck in" or half flash to the ball.
3
Depending on who has the ball. The pass to the cutter can come from the #3 position or the #5 position. It doesn't matter because the play will continue from either pass. The option for #4 is always there... it depends on her willingness to "duck in" or half flash to the ball.
4
If #1 doesn't receive the ball on the cut she will continue to the baseline. Let's say that #3 had the ball but couldn't make that pass to #1 on the cut. #3 will pass the ball to #1 at the baseline for a shot. #1 has the option to shoot the ball or pass to #4 at the block. #5 will always flash down a bit for a consideration pass in the paint. What if neither option is open?
5
#1 didn't have a shot and couldn't pass to #4 at the block. She swings the ball back to #3 #5 pops out to the 3 point range to swing the ball and passes to #2 on the cut to the basket.
6
#2 and #1 are cutting at the same time in different directions. The play may never get this far at the 10u age bracket but it is good to see the ending.
7
The pass could come from #5 to #2 or #1. The option to #4 is always available. And #5 has the option to shoot.
