Frequently Asked Questions
The Princeton Offense System includes the playbook PDF, the Learn the Princeton video walkthrough and the Practice Plans & Drills Guide. The playbook contains six sets, set plays and counters, zone plays, press breaks, out-of-bounds plays and breakdown drills. The Complete Coaching Bundle adds the West Virginia 2-Guard Offense PDF.
Choose the entries and options that fit the players you coach. Younger or less experienced groups can begin with one action and its continuation. Add choices when they can pass, cut and recognize the taught read.
The pace depends on the players and available practice time. Start with Chin and its continuation, establish one Low option, and add Point when the group is ready. Use the practice outlines as adaptable examples rather than fixed completion deadlines.
Players need to develop passing, cutting, shooting and defensive recognition. The system provides actions for using those skills together. Choose the personnel version and number of options that fit your team.
You can teach a selected action alongside your current offense. Check that its spacing, terminology and continuation fit what the players already know. Begin with one complete sequence.
Both purchase options include the playbook PDF, the Learn the Princeton video walkthrough and the Practice Plans & Drills Guide. The bundle adds the West Virginia 2-Guard Offense PDF. The video is a walkthrough, and the package does not promise a separate video for every drill.
