Step 1Complete passes for points. No point without a rip or sweep on the catch. No dribble or dribble variations. 10 complete passes then switch. 3 possessions each team. Split them into two groups on either sideline. Black on right and white on left to sub in after each change. Turnover or 10 complete passes. Variation – No score first then give 10 points on a layup. Run the difference in the score. A down/back for each point. One shot to score.Step 2COACHES: Teach your players AFTER the drill to wait until the man with the ball sees them to cut. Most players will avoid pressure and run around without learning how to get open. Rip/Sweep v. pressure on the ball and no dribbling forces players to fight to get open then remain calm.Step 3Same drill and just add a permanent trapper that does not have to run when either team wins or loses. Trap the ball and force passes against pressure. 4 on 3 Ball Toughness - VariationStep 4Offense is on each elbow and block. Defense is inside the lane trying to deflect or steal the ball. Complete 10 passes, no bounce passes, catch and rip/land on two. Offense cannot move.Step 5Offense is stationary and cannot move to get open or screen or dribble, but can move to the ball to receive. Use the corners of the volleyball court for spacing. Move two defenders to ballside and then move the other two to the midline. 10 passes. The 4 defenders are double teaming the ball and trying to get a steal. White vs. black and the losers run the difference. The two players on the midline – the high I goes to trap the ball at half court to start the drill. Teaches to pass before the trap is set and to be tough enough to fake then pass. See what is happening and don’t panic. Keep the ball moving.
