Reading Defense Drill – 2 on 2 Advantage

This basketball drill is great to help players get game repetitions attacking the basket and reading the defense at full speed.

Keys to success: The initial ball handler continues to the basket until a defender stops them. Once their path has been stopped by the help defender a quick pass is required. The receiver should be ready to shoot or drive hard to the basket against a recovering defender.

Elapsed Time: Run the drill for 5 minutes then move the pylons to the other side to simulate left hand drives for 5 minutes.
