Basketball Defense Run and Jump Drills

By Brian Williams on March 26, 2013

Basketball Defense Run and Jump Drills

These drills for the run and jump press are from the University of Washington Women’s basketball coaching Newsletter. If you would like to subscribe, email me and I will forward your interest on to Coach Mike Neighbors,

Yesterday, I posted some notes on playing the defense. You can see those here: Run and Jump

The drills are from the Run and Jump Press that is run by Coach Eddie Antrist of the University of Wisconsin-Stout

 

 

 

 

 

Dig-Dig- Catch up- Dig Drill

Basketball Defense

 

Start with foot fire

Slide…sprint to recover…slide….repeat

You must have active hands, high and wide

 

 

 

 

Tip Drill

Basketball Defense

 

Tipping the ball from behind is important

Tip the ball with your left hand vs. a right hand dribble, reverse vs. left hand dribble.

 

 

 

 

 

2 on 2 Run Jump (frame 1)

Basketball Defense

 

When I jump I will call out my teammates name.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 on 2 Run Jump (frame 2)

Basketball Defense

 

when you rotate up you must have high hands

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 on 1 Tip from Behind

Basketball Defense

2 on 2 Trap Sideline (Blue)

Basketball Defense

 

In the drill steer sideline, the inbound defender must quickly get below the level of the ball.

Once the ball starts to dribble you must get away from the offense, there is no reason to be close (you will foul).

Run drill at both ends the same time.

 

 

 

3 on 3 Positioning Dill (full court)

Offense advances the ball with the pass up the floor, while the defense sprints to the proper position.

Ball will go from one sideline to the next as the offense advances the ball up the floor.

3 on 3 Run and Jump Rotation Drill

Same set up as 3 on 3 positioning drill, allow the dribble by the offense

The defense will now attack with the run and jump

3 on 3 Live

Run the same drill live.

Make your rotations (only run and jump) on your own.

Put a coach back as a lone defender to prevent the long over the top pass,, as soon as the ball crosses half court he is out of the play

Diamond and Box Set Alignments- 4 on 4 Live Drill

5 on 5 live – Free Throw Drill

Color scheme for the defense
White Basic Run and Jump
Blue Sideline Trap
Red Immediate Trop in bounds
Black Denial on inbounds

You don’t need to necessarily call the colors your players need to learn when to RJ and when to trap.

Use “red” when they clear out

You can combine some of the colors.

When playing a great ball handler “black” and run “white” on the other guard
You can run black with two players, and double team the inbound pass the great player.
