1-1 Fast Break

Sometimes used as warming up drill. Two teams stand behind their own baseline. One player has ball, and one defender of the other team with him. The player with the ball goes to the other side as fast as possible to score, while the defender tries to steal the ball. As soon as the player has scored (or lost the ball) he will become defender against a new offensive player (a team mate of the earlier defender).

Instructions

Player must score or loose the ball before the new player may take over. The 1st player must be aware of his defensive role after his score. The new player must also go as fast as possible.

Tips

  • With an odd number of players, you will be sure that every couple will be different. Every player will meet another defender.
  • Do this drill for about 10 minutes. My boys’ team (1984) likes this drill very much, and learn to score under pressure.
