Here are my suggestions based on your limited practice schedule.  You don’t need set plays but you do need to teach your players how to set a legal screen. You don’t need plays but you should drill two out of bounds under your own basket plays. Set one or two solid screens and you can get some easy baskets from those plays.  There’s always a couple of kids who won’t shoot.  Make sure everyone shoots in practice.  Nothing kills a possession like when the ball is in a kids hands and he’s only looking to pass.   Also, I would promote shooting threes.  Kids are usually not closely guarded at the three and missed threes result in some random bounces that may allow for additional possessions.  If you’re practicing once a week I think it’s easiest teaching zone defenses.  I taught my daughter’s 5th grade team a 1-3-1 with a trap in the corners that they learned fairly quickly.  Good luck.  You’re behind the eight ball with your lack of practice time.
