• Begin on low block with offensive player on opposite block

• When offensive player begins dribble, sprint to him and close him out with active feet to cut off penetration

• When he kicks ball out to coach at top of key, change direction and sprint to coach. Close out again with active feet.

• React and cut off path to lane as he tries to penetrate to right or left, or defend attempted shots

Reps: 4-6

Benefits: This is all agility work; it’s a sprint, quick feet and change of direction; sprint, quick feet and another change of direction to defend and react. It’s all about getting in good position to cut off penetration and close out the guy wherever the ball is passed.
