Basketball drill: denial defence / 1vs1 and 2vs2

Prerequisites:

• to know the defensive position

Organization:

• coach gives pass to spot 1 (only attack after 4 passes/4 swings)
• attacker on spot 2 and 3
• in/out move
• first part of the exercise 1vs1; second part 2vs2
• shuffle through: offense becomes defense, defense connects and joins in as offense afterwards (stay on same side)

Goal:

• To teach the correct defensive position (denial + help defense)

Teaching points:

• Quickly change position when the ball changes sides, read defence as attacker (backdoor)
• In/out to the bucket, when defending short, get out to 1m outside 3pt line and use backdoor option, jump to the ball.
