Drilling “game like” transition defensive situations is critical in your team’s overall success. 2-on-1 drills are great breakdown drills, but they do not always mimic game situations. Instead of making rules for 2-on-1 use the below drill to make it more “game like.”
- x1 & x2 are defensive players
- 1 & 2 are offensive players (start on the blocks)
- x1 passes the ball to either Player 1 or Player 2 to start the action
- Player 2 dribbles up the side line for a 2-on-1 situation
- x2 sprint from behind for a helping situation on the 2-on-1
