PLACE AN OFFENSIVE AND A DEFENSIVE PLAYER AT HALF COURT. PLACE THREE OTHER OFFENSIVE PLAYERS AS FOLLOWS: PUT ONE ON EACH WING AND ONE ON THE FREE THROW LINE. THESE THREE PLAYERS ARE TO ACT AS SCREENERS AND PASSERS. THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER AT HALF COURT STARTS WITH THE BASKETBALL. HE THEN PASSES IT TO ANY ONE OF THE OTHER PLAYERS. HE THEN MAY USE ALL THREE OF THEM AS SCREENERS OR PASSERS. THE NON-GUARDED PLAYERS MAY SCREEN OR PASS AS THEY SEE FIT. IF THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER SCORES THE DEFENDER REMAINS AND A NEW OFFENSIVE PLAYER GOES AGAINST THE DEFENDER. WE MAKE THE DEFENDER STAY UNTIL HE STOPS SOMEONE. WE ROTATE THREE NEW PLAYERS IN AS SCREENER/PASSERS EVERY THREE OR FOUR POSESSIONS. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT DRILL WHICH CAN HELP YOUR DETERMINE WHO YOUR COMPETITORS ARE, AS THE DEFENSE IS AT A SEVERE DISADVANTAGE. IT ALSO HELPS YOUR OFFENSE AS THE YOUNG MEN LEARN TO PLAY TOGETHER AND USE SCREENS AND PASS THE BALL. LASTLY, IT IS FUN THE PLAYERS ENJOY GETTING ONE GUY ON DEFENSE AND SEEING HOW LONG THEY CAN KEEP HIM THERE.
