This drill works to teach defensive players about hustling to the ball during a trap, how to trap, and how to play centerfield against 2 defenders. At the same time, the offensive players can learn to time their passes before the trap arrives and keep the ball moving.
When players are first starting out, this can be a 3-on-3 drill in a small space. The coaches should explicitly teach the trappers to run toward each other with their hands up before they converge on the player with the ball, followed by aggressive trapping as close as possible without touching the offensive player. Then, they should put the centerfielder right in the middle of the other two players. The goal for the defense in this drill is to get a steal. The goal for the offense is to pass without moving. This can also be a competition where the offense wins if they make 10 passes without a steal. Any less will be a win for the defense. This drill can be scaled up to a farther back 6-player drill, an 8-player drill, and then finally to a 10-player drill. Also, multiple 3-on-3 Trap Drills can take place at the same time on the court since this does not use too much floor space. Skills focused on in this drill include: Trapping/working with a teammate Looping to your teammate to get to trap (prevent splitting the gap) Hustling to the pass receiver Quick ball movement against a press Cutting off passing lanes
