DESCRIPTION

Players stand in four lines along the half way line. A player on both side starts with the ball in hand.

The attackers play give-and-go as they progress up the court and pass around the defender.

The move finished with attacker 1 (the player who started with the ball) throwing at the goal.

COACHING POINTS

Defenders should stay in their hoops at all times (they are still allowed to intercept poorly thrown passes).

2 v 2 - Fast Break:

2 attackers versus 2 defenders.

The attackers must dribble and pass the ball around the two defenders.

To begin with the defenders cannot move from the spot and the attackers must run and engage the defender (with a side-step or a dummy) before progressing towards goal.

Drawing in the defender - 2 vs 1:

Player 1 dribbles around the cone and at the same time player 2 sprints around his cone.

Player 1 deliberately dribbles towards defender 1, trying to draw them towards them, before passing to player 2 once the defender has committed to trying to mark him.

Attacker 2 now throws at the goal.

Drawing in the defender - 2 vs 2:

Player 1 dribbles around the cone and at the same time player 2 sprints around his cone.

Player 1 dribbles deliberately towards their defender (defender 1) and passes to player 2 as soon as they are attacked by defender 1.

Attacker 2 should use a combination of speed and movement to get past defender 2 and then shoot at the goal.
