Set Up
Put players in lines about 15-20 away from each other. Start the ball with a pass, once that player goes and passes to the next teammate in line, they will play token/guided defense. The player with the ball will add in some form of escape. In this drill we will work on 3 different escapes
- Hitch – After you catch the ball, get loaded for a shot and then hitch around defender
- Roll Away – Roll away from the defender, working on stick protection
- Fakes – Have players throw quick pump fakes before getting around defende
Coaching Points and Principles
- Try to get the pass off right away, after you get around defender
- Execution of the escapes including stick protection and control
- Make good long passes to your teammates
Progression
- Add different escapes like face and split dodges
- Have the defender player tougher defense
