Half Court 3 v 2 + 1 - Multipurpose Drill

Drill Instructions The game is simple:  Play 3v3 half court with the coach initiating the action by passing to one of the offensive players (the player defending that person has to move outside 3pt line).   So you'll need two teams... (3 on each team).  Start with offensive players spaced outside the 3pt line.  Defensive players match up.

The coach has a ball.  The drill starts when the coach passes the ball to 1, 2, or 3.   The person guarding the player with the ball must get two feet outside the 3pt arc before they can defend.  So if coach passes to 3, then X3 must move outside the 3pt arc and then start defending. This creates a momentary 3v2 advantage for the offense.   The momentary advantage creates numerous teaching and skill development opportunities.   Change possessions on made shots and defensive stops (turnovers or rebounds).   Additional Rule: The offense can only shoot lay ups and 3pt shots. We add this rule (lay ups and 3s only) because it creates more passes, more outside shots, and gets players moving how we want in an actual 5v5 game (a real game has less space and more defenders on the court).
