Look at principles for defending ball screens. Teach 3 options:
Ball starts at free throw line extended. On the slap top player on defense reacts and picks up wing player.
Opposite post player moves up off baseline to set screen for ball handler. Low post defender follows him up the lane to play defense.
Defenders execute chosen principle.
Wing player dribbles and then passes to opposite wing (follows pass and joins end of line). Basleine defender rolls out and joins opposite baseline line. Drill continues from opposite side.
Run through as shell drill and play live on fourth rotation.
A ready-to-run Halloween session for junior basketball: zombie tag, ball control, a ghost rondo and a pumpkin patch shooting game.
Four players standing still make every ball handler's job harder. Teach V-cuts, L-cuts and back cuts so your team gets open and punishes defenders who overplay.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
