You have 6 players (2 teams) and this only requires the use of a half-court.
Starts with a player from each team at the baseline beyond the 3-pt. line.
The other 4 players will play 4-on-4 in the middle. They use these players on the baseline on offense only, but these players CAN NOT leave the spot. They can only shot the trey or pass the back to their teammate. All the other players can move about freely.
Each time the offense scores they maintain possession of ball. If the defense rebounds they quickly bring ball back beyond the 3pt. arc and attempt to score also using their player in the baseline spot who just step up.
Can go time limit or first to 10pt. with each. Bucket is 1pt and 3pt. shots are worth 2pt.
This is a great drill to teach help defense since you always want 'ball pressure'.
None
12
Watch for the players to really understand the meaning of good help defense by talking and rotating over to help out.
Sometimes call fouls, sometimes don't. Play to 10pt. then to 8/5 and a quick one to 2pts.
Offense, Defense, Rebounding
