Basketball drill: 2 against 2 quarter court
Suitable for the following techniques: defense
2 against 2 quarter court
Requirements:
- players must individually be able to defend the man with the ball
- players must know how to defend the man without the ball
Goal: To apply individual defensive technique in a simplified game situation
Organization:
- attackers use a quarter of the playing field
- are not allowed to cross the lifeline
- play 2 against 2
- winners will attack on the other half of the field
- losers keep on defending on this quarter (when there are more than 8 players, turn in at the halfway line)
Teaching Points:
- emphasise what you have taught the players individually
- there is no help (this makes it clear who is not defending well).
Variations:
- let the defender keep their hands behind their back if you want to emphasise footwork In the picture:
- Defenders 1 and 2 have conquered the ball without allowing attackers 1 and 2 to score
- defenders 1 and 2 attack on the other half of the pitch
- 5 and 6 will enter as defenders and play against the winners of 3 and 4
- former attackers 1 and 2 wait for their turn to defend
