Review the court position and available coaching instructions for each step.

Drill Continuous 2 on 1, STEP 1: Continuous 2-on-1 drill: We divide the court into 2 halves lengthwise (see diagram)

STEP 1

Continuous 2-on-1 drill:

We divide the court into 2 halves lengthwise (see diagram).
The drill works both offensive superiority and defense.
Offense:
  • Players must run through the outside and central lanes. Depends on how many lanes each coach sets (4 or 5).
  • Ball circulation can follow our team rules, central or wing lane.
  • Limit dribbling and always be aggressive to the basket.
  • Limit passes after the three-point line (1 or none)
  • Use passing fakes
  • Players without the ball always run ahead of the JCB. If continuous step.
Defense:
  • Use defensive fakes
  • Stop the ball as far from the basket as possible.
  • Use arms, make yourself big to occupy space.
Drill rules:
Offense: 
  • Start from baseline, pass to outside player who advances ball along the lane we set (I use both situations)
  • Inbound passer must run along the lane opposite JCB (If JCB wins center, JSB goes along wing, outer lane)
  • Attack fast using the above rules.
Defense:
  • On baseline inbound, defender must go around/touch the cone placed at midcourt (can be closer to basket depending on player ages)
  • Stop the ball as far as possible using defensive fakes
  • If beaten or passed, recover quickly to at least contest or force errors by closing/contesting shots.
Continuation:
To make it continuous, the defender becomes attacker, rebounds or inbounds if basket is made to play on the other court with another teammate.

Attacker who shoots at the basket: if he scores, he remains attacker and defends the passer.
The one who has to defend must touch the baseline and go around the cone to start the exercise.
Defender of the drill rebounds:
If scored on, inbound from baseline
If gets rebound, pivot for outside pass to the attacking teammate.
  • If scores, inbound from baseline
  • If grabs rebound, goes directly with outside teammate  (e.g., 5)
