- 4 offense start at the opposite free throw line
- 4 defense at opposite hoop, right inside the 3 pt arc, with their backs to the offense
- 4 defense cannot look at the offense until the whistle
Instructions
- The 4 offense take off in a dead sprint towards the defense, who cannot see them.
- Just as the offense crosses half court or later, the coach blows the whistle.
- The offense comes flying into the defender as hard as they can, literally throwing elbows and force at the defender.
- The defender must find his man and fight back, to get a box off whoever recovers the ball has the most ‘hustle with the muscle’
Variations
- For a variation, we will add 6 on offense or give them the padded blocking dummies.
- Also make the defense run when failing to out hustle or out muscle the defense…
Tips
- Really push kids to their physical peaks if a little guard gets mowed down by your 220 lb. center, big deal, comes with the drill.
- Push your kids, we have lead the conference in rebounding the past 4 yrs, and the only drill we use, you ask?? THE HUSTLE WITH THE MUSCLE
Skills
Boxing off, crashing the boards, physical play, elbows in the defender’s face
