Rainbow 1v1s

Defensive Focused 1v1s: Decision Making


Description of Drill:  This drill is to help work on 1v1 defense.  There will be 5 cones (each cone is a different color).  There will be lines of attackers at each cone with balls.  The defender will be in the middle of the 8 with their eyes closed.  All the attackers will be ready to go. To start the drill the coach will yell a color of one of the cones and that releases the attacker and allows the defender to open their eyes and begin the 1v1.  The defender will stay for three 1v1s and then rotate in a new defender.

Equipment Needed:  Different Color Cones and Balls.

  • Approach to ball (c cut)
