Offensive player dribbles the ball from one baseline to the other baseline with a defensive player on him. The defensive players objective is to stop the offensive player from reaching the far baseline. The defender must make the offensive player change direction. We want the defender to dig with the inside hand. If the defender gets beat he must learn how to sprint ahead and get back into position to stop the dribbler.
Players switch roles on the far baseline and the drill continues coming back.
This month I cover the last segment of the practice, the Conclusion, and then review the entire series. If you are still reading this I assume that at least some of it makes sense to you. Please feel free to tailor this concept to meet your needs. Conclusion Like the introduction, the conclusion in divided into two parts. The first part is a review of the current practice.
