3v3 to 7v7

By Joe Juter

This Is a great drill to help them to keep their spacing in the 3v3 and look to work the 2-player game options. In the clear, focus on marking up quickly to eliminate the easy feed to the outlet player up top. The transition to 7v7 is a great opportunity for them to work on recognizing whether they are in a fast break versus slow break situation based on the defense. The defense will emphasize their footwork and containing the 1v1 to the outside lane as well as communicating about the doubles/slides and seeing both ball and player on the back side.

4 pass to a 5v4 break

By Joe Juter

This is a traditional 5v4 drill with a bit of a twist. A great way to sneak some extra stick work in and maintain the next players in line attention. Especially at the earlier levels when we run these drills all the players do not touch the ball and therefore do not work on the most fundamental skill of the sport. No waiting! Once the one group ends the new 4 up top begin passing and the expectation will be set that the players down low will be ready in time.
