4v4 (3/4 Court)
Emphasis - Ball Handling - Decision Making in the Full Court
Defensive Emphasis - Peel Switch - Scrambling
Drill Set up - Put players into 4 teams of 4 or 5. Have teams 1 & 2 go against each other and teams 3 & 4 go against each other.
Play 2 trips so each team gets two offensive possessions. Then rotate so the team that started on defense initially now starts on offense.
On a made basket or turnover, have the team pickup full court. (Even though we can't press, this will help players develop ball handling skills)
Give 2 points for any EPA (Early Pitch Ahead) where the offense passes the ball across ½ court. Give 2 points for any offensive rebound. Keep score.
