the HUSTLE with the MUSCLE

  • 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
