Tips:

Encourage communication on defense. We force the ball outside to the corners. Second foul is point for offense.

This is a great team drill and the defense sees a variety of situations to defend including screens, cutters, and penetration. Our kids really pick it up here and we try and make all of our drills competitve.

Variations:

This can also be done in the full-court. We use it however in the half court.

You could possibly award points for transition baskets or stops.

Skills:

Defensive Positioning, Rebounding, Team Defense
