Basketball: Zig-Zag Defence with Offence

Get your players working together with this team session - perfect for building team chemistry and preparing your players for their next big game!

Have cones set up as shown in the image.

Players will start at the 1st cone and defensive slide from cone to cone.

Once the player gets their outside foot to the cone the player will push off of that foot and change direction.

Set up as shown in video clip.

When the ball is on that players side of the court they will deny.

When the ball is on the other side of the court, the players will come across and play help defence.

Once the ball has been passed to one of those players then they will play 2v2.

Split into 2 lines and have a line on either side of the court.

One player in the middle with a basketball.

The player in the middle will pass to the 1st player in one of the lines. After the pass is made that player will go and defender the receiver of the pass.

They will play 1v1. Only 1 shot is allowed.

Once a shot has been taken the ball will be passed to the opposite line where the offensive player will become the defender.

Players and cones will be set up as shown in video clip.

One offensive and one defensive player. The offence will dribble through the cones with the defence sliding keeping their head in line with the ball. Once they have gone through all the cones, the defensive player will retreat.

The offensive player will dribble to 15 foot away from the basket and shoot the ball.

The defensive player will contest the shot and then box out to get the rebound.
