Throughout this session we focus on team defence (defensive stance, help defence and boxing out) before then working on individual and team rebounding skills.
Try this session today and encourage your players to work hard and compete against each other - while learning the importance of a solid defence!
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.

The 2-3 zone defence remains one of the most effective defensive systems in basketball when coached and executed properly. This guide covers the fundamentals of running a 2-3 zone, including player roles, rotations, and when to deploy it for maximum impact.
