3v2 Push Pull Drill

The 3v2 Push Pull Drill teaches players how to manipulate a defense through movement, spacing, and quick ball movement. As the ball carrier attacks, the other two offensive players "push" or "pull" with the dodge, staying properly spaced while creating passing lanes and scoring opportunities.

The focus is on drawing defenders, stepping into seams, and moving the ball quickly to create high-percentage shots around the crease rather than settling for outside attempts.

Coaching Points

  • Maintain proper spacing throughout the drill.

  • Step into open seams and be a threat to score.

  • Draw defenders before moving the ball.

  • Move the ball quickly to create inside finishing opportunities.

  • Look to create a dunk or shot inside eight yards whenever possible.

As players become more comfortable with the drill, spacing improves, defenders are stretched farther apart, and the offense consistently creates better scoring opportunities.
