Two players (blue) with the ball start from the half way line. They're playing against Red 1 and Red 2.
After the attackers have had their shot the 2 defenders must box out and claim the rebound.
Once the drill is complete players rotate:
Attackers become the new defenders, the defending pair leave the court and swap with a new pair who are the new attackers!
Continue until every pair has had a go.
Show a target when receiving a pass.
Pushing the ball at speed up the court.
If the attack claim the rebound they should have another shot.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
