12 Seconds Drill

Directions:

1. Players are divided between four areas on the court, with an offensive player and defensive player in each area

2. Offense stays in his area as indicated by the lines on the court

3. The offensive player works on ball handling moves, trying to get by the defense

4. The defense must contain the drive and guard the ball non-stop

5. If defense backs up, don't sprint at him - crab walk to him

6. Guard for 12 seconds until switching

Other Teaching Points:

• Teach proper defensive slide technique

• Make sure hands are active and in the passing lane

• Contain the ball to prevent straight line drives

• Offense should work on their ball handling skills
