Basketball: 3 vs 3 with defence

Create space in congested areas with clever movement by the players off the ball. Teach your team how to set the screen to make space for the ball carrier to attack into.

Setup as shown. Split the group into two with a further person starting on the cone as shown.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 before giving a handoff pass back to player 1. Player 2 then turns to make a screen, with player 3 making a run, then making a cut before receiving a pass from player 1 and shooting.

Setup the practice as shown.

Player 3 runs into the arc and runs off the screen created by player 2 before receiving the ball from player 1, turning and then shooting.

Player 3 then collects the ball and returns the ball back to player 1.

Players stand in three lines, the players nearest the half-way line start with the ball in hand.

The blue players starts the drill by making the pass to the white players, and then sets the screen for the red player.

The red player then cuts off the top of the screen towards the ball. Meanwhile the blue player will reverse pivot and roll towards the basket.

The White players can choose to pass to either the red or blue player to have the shot.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 before running forwards to make a screen on them.

Player 2 proceeds to dribble around player 1 before going for a jump shot.

Players then rotate (player 1 becomes player 2 and player joins the back of the line).
