Offence - high ball screen

For coaches that like to run a high ball screen action, this is a good set based on a five out formation. Instead of being at the rim, 5 is a trail post (like 4) at the wing. Perimeter players are spaced to the corners. 5 sets a high ballscreen for ballhandler 1 (another great opportunity to teach offensive and defensive reads based on ballscreen). 1 uses the ballscreen, reads appropriately, and attacks. 4 fills for 1, and for high low. 5 rolls in space to the rim (based on action of 1). If 4 does receive the ball up top, they can attack or run ballscreen/handoff with the corner 3 player at the wing. Keep it simple - teach good spacing, screens, and proper reads.
