Basketball: Screen - 2 v 2

Great tool for bringing focus to practices. Began using it last year...

Eric, Coach

DESCRIPTION

One attacking player sets up near sideline with the ball.

2 defenders set up in line to defend players.

Other attacking player sets a screen on first defender. This opens the player up for a pass and a shot or clears the way for a lay up.

COACHING POINTS

Screening defnder needs to set a wide base with a purposeful pivot.

Seal the player off throughing picking and rolling, this takes the defense out of the equation.

Screening player to keep an open body.

Setting a Screen:

Player 1 with the ball. Player 2 sets the screen at either side of the defender. When the screen is set player 1 fakes to the opposite side then crosses back to rub shoulders with the screener, before dribbling past and either taking a shot or a lay up.

Screening

Shoot off the screen:

Setup as shown.

Split the group into three groups.

Player 1 passes to player 2 before going to set a lateral screen for player 3. Player 3 cuts off the screen to receive the pass and shoot.

Screening

Screen and Slip:

The screen goes to be set on the dribbler, the screeners defender will hedge out early to stop the ball.

This is where the screener will slip directly to the basket for a lay up.

Screening

2v2 Deny Drill:

Set up as shown in video clip.

When the ball is on that players side of the court they will deny.

When the ball is on the other side of the court, the players will come across and play help defence.
