To work on basic perimeter defense emphasizing run-throughs and emergency skills. Position a right, middle, and left back player on the endline on the opposite side of the net. The coach starts the drill by tipping a ball over the net to a spot that forces the back players to accelerate forward and dig the ball to a center target on their side of the court. After players dig the ball, they should immediately sprint back to the endline and wait for the next ball to come over. The coach should try to alternate the positioning of the ball so that every player gets the needed work.
Key points Remember to stay low throughout the entire drill.
