In the video below Coach Grant Leonard from Queens University shares a Close Out and Rebounding Drill.
The set up is quite simple. Two offensive players vs one defensive player. The first offensive player has the ball in the slot and the offensive player is on the opposite wide of the floor. The defensive player is in the gap and must help to stop the middle drive of the first offensive player and then close out with high hands to the shooter on the pass.
On the catch the offensive player may shoot or drive. Play is live until the offensive player scores or the defensive players records a stop.
This is just one of many drills that you can get with Coach Leonard’s DVD. To learn more about that product click the following link Defensive System Mastery – Close Outs, Drills & Ball Screens
