Close Out- Box Out Drill:

Players set up as shown in video clip. The line of players under the basket will each have a basketball.

A pass will be made from the line on the baseline to the line at the top.
Once the pass has been received that player will take a shot. The passer of the ball will run out and do a close out with their hand up to contest the shot.
After the shot has been released they will turn and box out to get the rebound.

Shooting

3 v 3:

Split the class into groups of 6. With 3 defenders and 3 attackers. One team starts with the ball and is attacking the basket, with the other team defending. If the defenders get the ball then the roles are reversed.
