players must be able to defend the man with the ball individually (slides)
Goal: apply individual defensive technique in a simplified game situation
Organisation:
attackers use one quarter of the playing field
is not allowed to cross the baseline
plays 1 against 1
the defender may only step over the half-way line once the attacker has put one foot over the half-way line (the attacker may make feints, if the defender steps too early he must first put both his legs back behind the line)
the defender first has to sprint to get his position between man and basket, then stay with slides between man and basket
winner will attack on the other half of the court
Loser keeps on defending in this quarter (turning in at the halfway line).
the next pair starts when the predecessor takes the rebound.
Teaching Points:
make sure you overtake the attacker by a large margin and only then take the defensive position.
then immediately move backwards with slides
In case of a defensive fault, the attacker is the winner.
Variations:
let the defender keep his hands behind his back if you want to accentuate his footwork
You can give good defenders a handicap by having them start 1 or 2 steps behind the attacker
attackers can be slowed down by having them dribble behind their back in front of the 3-point line, etc.
