Purdue Drill

Directions:

1. Players go one on one

2. The defender must contain the ball handler for the length of the half court

3. If the ball handler beats the defender, he should pull back his dribble. 

4. The defender then would go back to guarding him.

5. When the two players get to the end of half court, the defensive player goes to the end of the line.

6. The offensive player switches to defense.

7. Next in line becomes offense, and they go back the other way.

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.
