Picture 1: X1 starts with the ball on the baseline. The ball is passed to O1 using a chest pass. X1 closes out O1 and they play 1v1. Play to a score by either player. Whomever scores the point becomes the offense, the other play takes the ball to the baseline and they repeat. Play the drill until a certain number of points (e.g. 7) are reached by one player.

Correct closeout and 1-1 skills.

Vary the starting position of the offensive player anywhere in the quarter court.

Sprint out, defensive slide last step, use one hand to contest a shot, one hand to disrupt the dribble, stay low, move your feet, finish the play by boxing out any shot.
