REBOUND AND “COMING
OUT” DRILL FOR GUARDS

A shoots from behind the foul line,
advances to a point about five feet in
front of the basket, sets his foot to go
in any direction after the ball, takes the
rebound off high. As he alights he
dribbles to the corner, and using a
jump-hook pass gets the ball out to the
next man in line, B, who continues the
drill.

DRILL FOR BLOCKING
SHORT SHOTS

The offensive player A is given a
slight advantage on the defensive
player B. He drives in for a short shot.
The defensive player cuts directly for

the basket and throwing his body aside

from that of the shooter attempts to
block the shot and knock it out of
bounds.

This is a difficult drill to master, but
the work in this fundamental is worth
some time and consideration as the
guard either allows the man to score
or fouls him. With some work a reason-
able share of these shots can be blocked.

SHIFTING DRILL FOR
BLOCKING SHORT SHOTS

The offensive player A is allowed to
break in toward the basket slightly in
advance of the defensive man C. D
who is defensively responsible for B
shifts and goes up to block the shot,
throwing his body clearly to the inside
of the offensive man and with his hands
high. C must complete this shift of
assignments and take B.

This is a common situation in bas-
ketball and proper drill will save many
baskets in a season.
