Developing Defensive Units up and down the court
Transition from attack to defence seamlessly by working in small units to regain court position and maintain shape so youâre not wide open to the counter-attack.

Using the width of a third create 3 lines either side of the third (a minimum of 12 players is required for this drill to be effective)
The first row of 3 (RED) will have one ball and work it to the other side (1, 2, 3)
The ball is passed off to the next set of 3 who will do the same (4)
HOWEVER the 3 players who were just attacking (RED) will now defend the next set of 3 who they just passed the ball too
NOTE: The GREEN players who have just defended will go behind the BLUE and get ready for their turn to attack
Each unit of 3 will go from attacking to defending straight away
The attackers should try penetrate space to get free and keep offering for the ball
The defenders should try keep their players up court to slow them down
