Players start off with their own space on the court.
On the coach's first whistle players sprint on the spot, standing with wide feet and their arms outstretched as if defending.
Players sprint on the spot, with minimal leg raise - emphasis on fast feet.
On the coach's second whistle, players follow the coach's signal (right or left with their arm).
Players move in the crab position in the direction of the coach's signal until the third whistle.
Coach should vary the time between whistles and change direction several times.
Panicked passes under full-court pressure cost easy turnovers. Teach calm spacing and simple reads so your team beats the press instead of feeding it.
A ready-to-run Halloween session for junior basketball: zombie tag, ball control, a ghost rondo and a pumpkin patch shooting game.
