drill that you can run at practice like
0:02
every single practice that'll get your
0:05
players moving and and help them figure
0:08
out how to work together to get them
0:10
open during games well I've got the
0:13
drill for you here today um I like to
0:15
run this as a three on just like a three
0:18
on three um and it's basically just you
0:21
know a pass and then screen away for
0:25
your other player to get them open it's
0:28
um really good at teaching them how to
0:31
screen teaching them how to move um
0:34
without the ball and um working to get
0:37
the best uh the best shot and and get
0:40
themselves open so really you know when
0:43
I initially introduced this to the team
0:45
is I'll uh I'll teach them you know I
0:49
I'll I'll just kind of get three players
0:51
out there and um and I'll just start
0:55
working without defense at first I'll
0:57
pass the
0:58
ball I'll teach them to screen
1:02
away to the other
1:04
player get that player open pass the
1:09
ball screen
1:12
away get that player
1:15
open screen
1:19
away and that's and that's really how
1:21
I'll do it um if you've got a younger
1:24
group um I will typically not add
1:28
defense on right away but after I do a
1:31
couple iterations of this I will add a
1:34
coach into the
1:36
mix
1:39
so
1:40
um you know I might pass the
1:44
ball set a
1:46
screen hopefully I have two coaches
1:49
there um look to pass the
1:54
ball set a screen
1:58
whoops pass the ball and and I'll use
2:02
that coach to um to act as a defensive
2:06
player I will also emphasize to the
2:10
players that when they you know do their
2:13
screen they don't want to leave any room
2:16
and I'll demonstrate to them that you
2:18
know if they are coming up to set the
2:22
screen I'll use the red just to keep it
2:26
standard I'll I'll show them how it
2:29
should look I'll show them that they
2:31
should almost be like in one there
2:32
should be no
2:35
Gap and I and I'll emphasize that a lot
2:39
um because I you know I want to make
2:41
sure that they're not leaving a gap
2:43
because if you don't know when
2:47
uh when you do set that screen if you
2:51
don't leave a gap the defense can just
2:53
come right out with you and actually he
2:55
would be on this side the screen would
2:57
be set over here
3:01
because you don't you don't want them to
3:02
be able to get out with you so um I I
3:05
emphasize that to
3:06
them and encourage them to uh to do it
3:10
the right way so um you know once I once
3:16
I you know I do a couple rotations and
3:18
and kind of how I rotate this is I'll
3:21
have you know my
3:24
players you know that are watching Stand
3:28
By and Watch
3:31
and then I might use the other courts
3:33
that are out
3:36
there so I'll get a uh you know and I
3:39
can have the other players just kind of
3:40
standing by and then rotating
3:42
in um just depending on how many players
3:44
you have you just might have to adjust
3:46
how your lines are set up but um you
3:50
know I'll have them just work it without
3:51
offense I mean without defense for a
3:53
little while and then I will start
3:55
adding defend play defense uh defensive
3:58
players and I might only add two
4:00
Defenders at um at at
4:05
first because if you had that third
4:08
sometimes they can get a little
4:09
rambunctious um but if you've got a team
4:12
that can handle
4:13
that you know that works um they will
4:16
also you just got to be careful having
4:18
three because they'll start figuring
4:19
things out and they'll switch um but you
4:23
know for the sake of the
4:26
drill you know I might have um I guess
4:30
we're going red as offense you know have
4:32
to get open pass they screen
4:36
away oops this guy would be
4:39
up screen
4:42
away
4:45
pass this
4:48
players this player come up here this
4:50
player screens
4:53
away pass and and I'll basically just do
4:56
a three on three or two on three or
4:58
whatever you decide and I'll I'll tell
5:00
them um get your once you're you know if
5:03
get yourself open um I might throw in a
5:06
little bit of fun in there that um you
5:09
know whichever team scores wins and the
5:11
other team is doing push-ups or running
5:13
laps or whatever that's especially
5:15
helpful when you have a lot of uh
5:17
players waiting on the sidelines to jump
5:19
in um but this could be a very fun
5:22
practice or a very fun drill for
5:24
practice to get them really excited and
5:27
I and I I'm pretty confident you're
5:28
going to see a change in your team's um
5:33
off ball uh movement during games and
5:36
just their team chemistry if you like
