PENALTY: If violation is at the opponent's basket, the offended team is awarded two points if the attempt is from the two point zone and three points if it is from the three point zone.

The defense is not allowed to play zone and must guard players on the ball side. The help side defenders must play 1 and 1/2 offensive players, this teaches good help side coverage.
The object of defense is to try to take the ball away from your person or person in your assigned zone area, to force them to turn over the ball, or force them to take a low percentage shot.
Zones are named with numbers based on what pattern they form when looking at them from the top of the key. The keys to breaking a zone are: a) good outside shooting, b) fast, accurate passing, c) backdoor plays, and d) creating miss-matches.
