Close/Slide/Back

Directions:

1. X closes out to the cone 

2. X then takes a big step and slides to the second cone 

3. Once X reaches the 2nd cone, he backpedals to the baseline with his hands high

Other Teaching Points:

• Closeout with proper technique

• Communicate your closeout (i.e. "I got ball!")

• Closeout with proper foot positioning (match feet) and pick-up points (red light, yellow light, green light, etc.)

• Maintain proper footwork and balance on defensive slides

• Big step the first step after the closeout
