3. A defending player stands in the middle of the cones, they are to ‘pick up’ the attacker when they drive out.

Delivering the ball midcourt through to the circle edge/shooters

Set up: 

Half court, two balls, 5+ players

1 player standing on base line, another player with the ball standing around the third line. 

Description:

Note: The video shows the drill being played out with 2 groups of players, you could just focus on one group i.e. 1 line, 1 V driver. The description is based on one group. 

Player on base line near shooting post, V drives towards court edge and receives a pass from the player in the line with the ball. 

Player who passes the ball drives directly to the circle edge in a straight line and receives a pass from the player who has driven out on the V. 

Player who had initially drove out now drives into a position under the hoop to receive a pass from their player and put a shot up. 

This drill is for a defender to practice intercepting and dictating play.

Use 4 feeders to make a space like a wide corridor for the attacker in a third. Have 2 feeders on each side of the third 8-10m apart facing each other.

The attacker will start the drill by passing to one of the first feeders, who will then pass back to the attacker. The attacker then has to pass to the next feeder on the same side.

It doesn't matter which side they pick to start the drill, but both passes have to stay on the same side each time.

The Attacker also has to receive the ball in line with or in front of the Feeder, to keep play moving forward.

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

• 4 players.
• 1 feeder starts with the ball approximately on the 3rd line in shooting 3rd.
• 1 defender stands front on to feeder with 1 attacker screening this defender (see coaching points if unsure on setup). 
• Other attacker to stand on the opposite side to the side being screened. They are to either drive across the pair or cut behind them to receive a pass from the feeder. 
• The screening attacker then rolls off the defender and receives a pass in the space.
