Basketball drills for technique defense
- Outward, the classic weave is run.
- Back, the weave is run up to the center line.
- The next 3 players ready to run the weave catch the current 3 players half court and a 3 versus 3 situation is created from which a score must always be scored.
- After the score, the newest 3 players run the weave and the next 3 will catch these players half court for a 3 versus 3.
