Sprint to Closeout

Directions:

1. #1, #2, and #3 skip the ball across the court 

2. The defenders sprint on the air-time of the ball to closeout 

3. Repeat several times

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.)

• Move on the air-time of the ball and be there on the catch
