Hi Carrie,
You can try these drills to help your Year 8 boys relax and pass out of a full-court press:
3-on-2 Pressure Drill: Practise quick passing and spacing under defensive pressure. Limit dribbling to improve decision-making.
4 Corners Passing Drill: Focus on ball fakes, pivoting, and sharp passing while facing defensive pressure.
Diamond Press Break Drill: Teach structured movement and passing options to break the press efficiently.
1-on-2 Ball Handling Drill: Develop composure and ball control with limited dribbles against two defenders.
Key Tips:
Emphasise calm decision-making, spacing, and using the middle of the court.
Encourage communication and avoiding traps in corners.
I hope this helps,
Cam
