3v3 at X (Zone)

Building confidence in Slide Packages for defending 3 at X.

This Drill Highlights:

• This is for Zone Defenses

• Gaining Confidence with this Slide Package

• Defending & Applying Pressure to 3 at X

• Works Specifically for Defending High to Low Pass with 3 at X

Description:

Set 3 attackers at X and two low defenders on GLE.  Place a Rover in the middle (watch video for more context). Set one attacker high with the ball and a Backer high marking her.

Work on the Slide Package: Ball starts high and gets passed low to an attacker at X. The Rover slides down to GLE to mark an attacker at X, the Backer slides into the middle, a low defender pops low and applies pressure to an attacker at X and the last low defender will stay on the ball.  This creates a 3v3 man situation. 

Variations: Have the high attacker pass the ball to different defenders down low to work on the Slide Package.
