Basketball: Defense - Full court defence intro

Defense

Full court defence intro

1) It is common for coaches to teach help side position defense in the half court setting, but the same in a full court situation is often neglected.

In this drill, player is confined to playing in the lanes of the court. One pair will play zig zag until the defense can turn the offence twice, while the other two pairs move up the court at the same pace. Encourage the players defending away from the ball to get in a good help stance and always:

1. Be in "Ball-You-Man" defensive position.
2. Keep a good low balanced defensive stance.
3. Jump the ball quickly on any pass.

Hedge and fake at the ball handler if they come towards you.

2) On a pass all players must jump to ball quickly and move when the ball is in the air. They are now in a good help stance just as they would be in a half court situation.
