Basketball Defensive Drills - 4 on 3 contest

Description:

Instructions:

A stop is a complete box-out and gaining possession of the ball, contested jump shot, communication, closing out with hands high on the player with the ball and closing out with proper positioning in an attempt to keep the ball out of the middle of the floor.

Number of Players:

minimum of 7

Tips:

Only those offensive players who are guarded can go to the offensive boards.

Variations:

A made uncontested jump shot is a minus one for the defense's score

Skills:

Contesting jump shots and rotating and communicating defensively
