“C Drill”

This is a post up drill. • Defense tries to get around. • Offense moves feet (same as box out). • Offense keeps feet pointing to passer. 1. Catch 2. Chin (the Ball) 3. Check (the Defense) •

“High/Low Reads”

•

•

•

Defense will meet and greet at the FT Line. Offense will swim or spin to the block. Always moving feet like C Drill.

Defense is HIGH SIDE - “Lob.”

Defense is LOW SIDE.

Defense is FRONTING - “Skip, Seal, and Score.”

“3 & 1 Drill”

“Trap and Tip Drill”

• • • • • •

1 and 2 are at the elbows. Defense is at 1/2 court. Coach shoots the ball. Whoever rebounds the ball is on offense 1 on 2 full court. If steal, score. If get beat, look to tip from behind.
