'''Fast break''' is an offensive strategy in [[basketball]] and [[handball]]. In a fast break, a team attempts to move the ball up court and into scoring position as quickly as possible, so that the defense is outnumbered and does not have time to set up.

A '''fly fast break''' (also known as a '''one out fast break,''' the technical term for the play) is a [[basketball]] move in which after a shot is attempted, the player who is guarding the shooter does not [[box out]] or [[Rebound (basketball)|rebound]] but instead runs down the court looking for a pass from a rebounding teammate for a quick score.
===How to play the Fly fast break===
The coach designates a certain guard or guards to carry out the Fly fast break. This is often the guard that defends the opponents' [[shooting guard]]. When the designated opposing guard makes an attempted shot. The defending guard (referred to as 'Fly') will contest the shot but then sprints down the court to the other team's key. When the defending team obtains the rebound or has to inbound the ball (after a made basket), they throw the ball into the other team's key, knowing that there is a 'Fly' waiting to catch the ball and score.
===Strengths===
* Defeats the zone - the other team doesn't have time to set up their [[zone defense]].
* Removes a rebounder - because the shooter has to defend against the Fly, they are removed from rebounding.
* Upsets the shooter - because the shooter has to worry about defense, they are less focused on their shooting.
===Weaknesses===
* Rebounding weakness - The Fly's team is left with a 4 against 5 rebounding ratio, if the shooter stays to rebound.
* Inbounding - If a shooter scores, the inbounding set up takes longer and the distance to throw the ball is harder.
* Exhausting - The Fly has to sprint on offense, but has to hustle back on defense if the Fly fast break fails.
===Breaking Down the Fly fast break===
Breaking down the Fly fast break can be done in two ways:
* Have a confident shooter who can score and force the defending team to inbound while the shooter hustles back to defend against the Fly.
* Use non-shooting plays, where the #4 & #5 forwards do the scoring.
===Notes===
The 'Fly' is a term in [[fly fishing]] where the actions of this type of fishing are similar to the actions of the basketball player in Fly fast break.
