Teaching point:  Week 3

Defensive position – Please teach the student athletes proper defensive position while playing man to man defense. Back to basket, facing the player they’re guarding and over playing passing lane (ball, you, man). Make sure you teach the players to see the ball at all times and to know where their man is at all times, staying between man and basket.

Three on three drill -- Have a coach with a ball just behind foul line. Spread three offensive players out on the floor and assign three defenders to them. Make sure defenders position themselves correctly. Instruct the players on offense to move and cut to basket while defenders guard. Emphasize seeing ball and man. The coach makes pass to open man and then resets. Rotate offense and defense and new players.
