About This Play/Drill

Make this a competitive drill.

Divide teams evenly.

If the shot is made by the coach ball comes back out and drill starts over. 

Make defense find the offensive player first before going to blockout. Don't just run toward the rim.

Additional ways to make this drill effective: Use Zipedo or other device to put on rim so ball can not go through the net. 

One of the most effective ways we have run this drill has been with an oversized basketball.

The bigger basketball will make players grab the rebound. Also, the ball is difficult to make on the shot forcing a rebound situation.

  • Coach shoots the ball with offensive players starting outside the 3 point line. Defenders look to block out once the ball is shot.

  • The most competitive way to run this drill is make the defense get three rebounds in a row. Replay the shot if the ball gets knocked out of bounds. If defense does not chin the ball or travels with the ball before it is thrown back to the coach no point is given.

  • Use new offensive team after each shot unless ball is knocked out of bounds. Keep fresh offensive team each possession.
