Reading Defense Drill – Downhill Drives (3 on 3)

This drill is great to teach players how to drive at their defender at full speed, react to help defenders and make good decisions on the move.

Keys to success: It’s important the ‘Ball Handler’ dribbles at their defender at full speed similar to a fast break situation. We want to most repetitions possible with our players making decisions moving at full speed. Be quick, but don’t hurry.

Elapsed Time: Rotate after each turn so your players get repetitions at each offensive and defensive spot. Run the drill for 5-10 minutes.
