Instructions:

This drill requires you to use 2 balls and about 8 players. First you have one player standing at the baseline three point area (Low) and another is standing at the top of the key area (High). The rest of the group is behind the baseline. First the baseline player makes a two handed chest pass to the 'Low' shooter and immediately sprints and closes out with feet 'Squeeking' and one hand up challenging the shooter. Once they have tapped the ballhandler then that person is allowed to shoot. Once a shot has been taken immediately locate,blockout, then rebound and throw to the next person in line. Once a shot has been taken from the first group the next player throws a ball to the 'High' shooter and repeats the process. As your team gets better at closing out and challenging the shooter then allow for dribble penetration (3 to 4 dribbles). Sometimes you may have two balls in action at the same time which is o.k. when you are just shooting but try to avoid this with the dribble drive We try to push the ballhandlers to the baseline or funnel out of the key area. If done correctly you can work and place emphasis on all of the following areas: closing out, defensive position, shooting under pressure, rebounding, defending against dribble penetration etc. Hope this helps a little and good luck!
