Competitive version of shell drill where a score followed by a stop equals a point and a team must gain three points to win. Drawn 3v3 but can be 4v4 as well. Setup and rules in frame descriptions.

Setup: drill begins with three offensive players competing against three defensive players at the three quarter court level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once the ball is crossed over half court the offense runs the guided shell action of the day. Examples:

Pass, Cut, Fill (shown)

Pass & Screen Away

Pass, Follow, Ball Screen

The teams compete until a shot is taken. If offense scores, the offense and defense switch roles. In order for the basket to count the offensive team that is now on defense, must get a stop to accompany their basket.

A basket followed by a stop counts as one point.

The drill is played until the first team scores three points – three baskets accompanied by three stops.

Advance this drill to 4v4 as well

2 on 2 Read the Chest Defensive Drill

By Brian Williams on October 16, 2020

This video is with with Baker Dunleavy, Quinnipiac University Head Men’s Basketball Coach. Coach Dunleavy was the Villanova University Associate Head Men’s Basketball Coach from 2013 t0 2017.

He doesn’t actually show the drill, but he does have some really good coaching points. One of those being that you need to create drills to rep your players on helping on a driver or staying with a shooter, communicating how the defender is playing his/her man, and “catch to shoot.”
