Topic:  Defense - Moving on the Pass

Question from Imad:
thanks for this tip, accually it is tru and i think most of the coach's try or tell or even teach his players to move with the ball not to move when the offence receive the ball, but the seceret and the diffecult part how to make it a habit and that you don't have to shout at them all the time in the games so that they do it.

To get you players to develop a "habit" of moving on the pass, you can do a couple different things:

- Explain the "reason why" to your players. Demonstrate the difference and make sure they understand "why" they are doing these things. It’s easy as a coach to forget to teach the reason why and just try to make them do it. People don’t like to be force fed.

- Playing time. The ultimate motivator is playing time and if you reward the good defensive players that move on the pass, they'll all get the message. Or if you pull a player out of the game and leave them out because they didn't go hard on defense, they'll get the message.

- Repetition. We do tons of 4on4 and 5on5 shell work. This is when you emphasize defense and the kids know it. This is where we develop many habits. We start with just passing the ball around and don't move on to the next thing until everyone is moving on the pass (even if it takes the entire practice). If it's non-negotiable from day one they just do it and it's not a problem.
