Defense Basketball

Coming up with new ideas for defense basketball drills can sometimes be a challenge.  Here’s a basketball drill sent in by Tom that works well.

From Tom…

I know there are lots of drills to assist players here but the one we use most successfully begins at any of the jump circles.

The offensive players with their heals on the circle facing outward and the defensive players inside the circle facing the offensive players back.

The ball is placed in the center of the circle and a coach begins the drill by yelling “Ball”.

The objective is for the defensive player to keep the offensive player from getting the ball for Five Seconds using screening out skills.

A point is given to which ever side accomplishes their task.

Killers are run by the losing team after both teams have had an opportunity at screening out.
