• 101 drills in Defense

4 on 3 contest

Four offensive players are spaced along the arc while three defensive players guard any 3 opponents. A coach has the ball and he will begin the drill by passing to any of the four offensive players. The defense must rotate to prevent an uncontested jump shot.

Instructions

The four offensive players cannot move. They can only catch and shoot. The defensive team must get three stops to get out of the drill. A stop is a complete box-out and gaining possession of the ball, contested jump shot, communication, closing out with hands high on the player with the ball and closing out with proper positioning in an attempt to keep the ball out of the middle of the floor.

Variations

• A made uncontested jump shot is a minus one for the defense’s score

Tips

• Only those offensive players who are guarded can go to the offensive boards.
