War

Instructions

This is a 3 on3 to a 5 on 5 man to man defensive game. The rules are simple: Give each teams a set number of posessions to play (I normally give 10) The offensive team gets 2 points for a made bucket, 1 point for a offensive rebound and 1 point if a foul is committed by the defense. Defense gets 2 points per ‘stop’ (a turnover or secured defensive rebound) 1 point per secured blocked shot and a point taken away for every offensive rebound allowed. Each team plays 10 possesions on offense, ans 10 possesions on defense. The team with the most points win after 20 possesions have been played. Loser runs 17 sprints cross-court in 65 seconds. I keep the same teams all season which builds a rivalry. I call the drill ‘WAR’. Any drill that gets guys excited about playing defense is a good drill. This is one that has worked well in our practices.
