Team offense is based on the fundamental skills of dribbling, passing and catching, shooting and offensive rebounding. A coach can present each of these skills and assist in the athlete's individual development. However, skills are just skills until an athlete uses them appropriately and successfully in game play with other teammates. Offense means scoring points making baskets. The ultimate goal of any of the offensive fundamental skills is to assist the athlete and the team in scoring. Certainly the aim of the game of basketball is to score more points than your opponent.
