A simple but structured half-court offense that will break down almost any man defense

De La Salle High School's highly structured half-court "5-High" continuity offense, with its constant screening and constant motion, has enabled us to hold our own against a lot of basically superior opponents.

Our primary 5-High set pulls our opponents away from the basket and forces them to work harder against us.

As shown in Diag. 1, we set up with our wings at either end of the free-throw line extended, our center in the low post, a high post at the elbow of the lane, and a point guard up at the top.

The high post, point guard, and a wing form the strong side, and the low post and the other wing the weak side.
