Basketball Drills

Full-court defensive conditioning drill. Players close out, slide and sprint at four stops down the floor, two lines at a time.

Three defenders against four in the half court. The defense protects the rim and recovers, the offense learns to find the open player.

Close out on the wing, guard the drive and box out the shooter. Players rotate from the baseline line to defense to the wing line.

Four on offense against three on defense, threes only and no dribbles. Defenders rotate on every pass and close out on the catch.

Five closeouts from the middle of the lane to corner, wing, top, wing and corner cones. Contest, box out and push step back each time.

Pass, close out and guard the drive, then rotate as the ball swings to the other wing. Runs continuously from both sides.
