Details

• Player 1 starts with the ball. Player 2 is under the rim.
• Defenders X1 & X2 are trapping player 1. The drill begins when 1 passes the ball to 2. (X1 & X2 are not allowed to touch that pass.)
• 1 is out of the drill after making the pass.
• As soon as 2 receives the pass, they dribble hard up the opposite side, trying to score.

(Diagram 2)

• X1 & X2 sprint out of the trap at good angles to cut off 2 down the floor.
• If X1 and X2 are able to catch 2, they will look to trap along the sideline.
• If player 2 attempts to cross over and split the defenders, they will then chase from behind just as in the 2v1 tip from behind drill.
• X1 & X2 will look to tip the ball away before 2 can score.

• Tip: This drill is great for helping players learn to take good angles when getting the ball cut off. If not, they’ll end up behind the dribbler.
