Sometimes we will scrimmage and I'll designate a given player as the hot player. The team gets a bonus point every time this player scores from a set play situation. It's a good way to teach your team to spot and focus on getting a critical player the ball in a given situation. Teach them to take advantage of player mismatches. This player is often matched up against a rookie freshly inserted into the game, or when there is an obvious size, strength or quickness mismatch.
Pro players do a great job of going for the throat.
Young teams and players sometimes take a whole quarter and several timeouts to identify a defensive weakness. If you want drills for 3 on 3 simply break you offense into parts and control in these situations for small periods of time before allowing your team to use all the options in a 3 on 3 game.
