Defensive Stance and Shuffle Drill

Players spread out over the court in sets of four or less and assume and maintain a good defensive stance. The coach points in the direction he wants them to shuffle (right or left). The players should not cross their feet or allow them to touch. Players must keep their heads up and react quickly to the coaches commands. This is also a good conditioning drill and can be used instead of sprints, when necessary, to help the players regain focus on the practice.
