SET UP
Put player in groups of 4 all over the field. I would use all positions here, as this drill emphasizes both the offense and defensive concepts. The two players on offense will start with the ball. They will try to set a pick and complete a pass, without the ball getting kicked down or intercepted. They will continue to play until they complete a pass, which will allow for this drill to get high volume reps
OFFENSE PICK PRINCIPLES
- Get body set in proper position – Picker’s back should point the direction the ball with player wants to attack
- Be deceptive as the picker, don’t just run up to on ball defense, V-Cut and start underneath so it forces the defense to communicate
- if the Defense Switches – SLIP
- If the Defense Stays – Box Out and Roll Out
- If the Defense Doubles – FLARE Out for quick support as teammate with ball rolls away
DEFENSIVE PICK PRINCIPLES
- Communicate! Let On ball teammate know where the pick is coming from.
- Try to use physicality to not allow pick or get players off line
- Lead with stick, to disrupt passes / Off Ball Get stick up to to and pick off passes
