This drill emphasizes the use of proper box out techniques to maintain the inside position for the rebound, as well as the aggressive pursuit of the ball. Instructions 1 Divide the team into two groups of five. Give one team jerseys to wear. 2 Have one team stand on the center circle, facing the middle. The other team stands behind them. 3 Set the ball in the middle of the circle. 4 On the whistle, the team on the outside attempts to get into the middle to retrieve the ball. 5 The team on the inside must box out the opposing team to keep them from getting to the basketball.
This is a rough drill emphasize to players not to take it too far. Keep track of how many times each team gets the ball and offer discipline. Do NOT allow diving. Source: https://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/drills/fight-for-it.html
