Drill
DOUBLE 1x1
At least 4 players, ideally more to keep it fluid. 2 start from the short corner with a pass to their partner positioned at 45º outside the three-point area. It’s a 1x1 but sharing space with another pair at the same time to encourage keeping their heads up. The rebound/basket decides who goes to the attacker’s line to promote defensive intensity.
Variants: 1. Initial pass in diagonal. 2. Forbid the immediate shot without facing up.
