Basketball Drills 7 Point Defense Game

By Brian Williams on August 27, 2014

Basketball Drills 7 Point Defense Game

In this post, Northern Iowa Head Basketball Coach Ben Jacobson explains the rules for his 7 point defensive drill.

The purpose of the drill is to put the defense at a disadvantage to develop a defensive toughness.

The game is played to 7 with the offense scoring by 2s and 3s as normal and also receiving one point for each foul on the defense. The drill is played 5 on 5.

The defense scores in the following ways:

1 point for a stop
2 points for recovering a loose ball
2 points for taking a charge.

You will need to click the play arrow to see the video.

Make sure your sound is on as you watch.
