• Four players start outside lane—two on elbows and two on blocks

• Players begin chopping feet until coach yells “help,” at which time they sprint to cones

• Without hesitation, players touch cone, change direction and sprint back to starting points

• With feet chopping, players trace ball as a coach simulates feeding it inside

• After a few reps, players will defend coach’s dribble instead of pass

Reps: 4-6 reps

Benefits: This trains players to give defensive help and recover in all directions. Defending against an inside pass or lane penetration simulates the reactive movements needed to play defense in a game.
