Basketball drill: front the low post

Goal: frontal defense of the low post

Organization:

• Players 1 and 2 may adjust a center. If they cannot do so within 2 seconds, they must pass to each other. They remain at their place.
• The attacking centre asks the side of the bucket for the ball.
• defender must cross between the attacker and the free throw line
• and defend the attacker in front.
• every pass from forward to forward scores 1 point for the defender
• a defensive rebound also scores 1 point
• for every score from the bucket 1 point is deducted
• foul on a goalie = score
• play until the 3

Teaching Points:

• prevent the pass on the mid post with 1 hand up.
• Push the attacker backwards with the other forearm (but make sure you can jump to intercept the pass).
• face to the half way line
