Play Type:“ “ Dribbling Drill
Purpose
This dribbling drill simulates a half court trap. Your ball handler will retreat with an escape dribble, and get back out into the middle of the floor.
Execution
- Have your ball handler line up behind half court with a defender on them.
- The ball handler will dribble up to the hash mark on the sideline, where a second defender will come trap.
- The ballhandler will keep their dribble alive, take 1-2 dribbles backwards, crossover, and get into the middle of the court.
Coaching Tips
This is a very important drill for your point guards. Being able to keep their dribble alive despite a halfcourt trap will result in an easy basket almost every time, as the defense will be forced to guard the other four players with just three of their own.
