Building Team Defense? Start With This Drill — Period
Before you install slide packages, rotations, or complex communication calls, your players must master this one situation: an attackman beating his man from X and getting to the 5 & 5. The timing and angle of the first slide — and the discipline of the second slide — are the foundation everything else is built on.
Dodge Slide And Recover Drill
Timing and communication are essential for an effective slide. The defender must slide at the right moment to avoid leaving their own man open, and the other defenders must communicate the slide to ensure that the player being slid to is ready to pick up the open offensive player. This drill is a great way to practice this technique.
