The Circle Trap drill is one of the best drills to not only teach your offensive players how to handle traps under pressure, but it also teaches your defense how to trap without fouling.
Offensively teach your players to be strong with the ball and how to create space. This drill also enforces the term "Fake a Pass Before you Make a Pass".
Defensively trap with your feet and never allow splits. Keep your hands behind your elbows to prevent fouling. This drill also teaches the intercepter how to read the passer and try to anticipate the next pass.
Drill Starts with coach having the ball
-Three offensive players around the circle
-Three defenders inside the circle splitting the gaps
On the pass the two closest defenders (X1 & X2) trap 3 with active hands & NO FOULING.
X3 plays safety and trys to antcipate and take away passes to 1 & 2.
3 must rip the ball high/low & fake a pass to make a pass. Goal is to fake to get X3 going one way and pass to the other guard.
Offense MUST stay outside the circle.
