We are starting another level of our AAU program. Today is the first day of tryouts. I thought you might be interested to know what we're doing for this.
We will do some full court fastbreak stuff. Two drills actually. The UCLA drill - which I'm sure all of you are familiar with. We emphasize in this drill having the ball handler identifying that first gap in the defense and attacking it. From there, we are looking at if the other offensive players can read the floor and move appropriately. This is the essence of skill development - reading the defense and playing off of what it gives you.
Another full court drill we're doing is a full court defensive matchup drill. We have one offensive player with the ball at the far end. The other four offensive players are at their goal's end. The 5 defenders are lined up at halfcourt facing away from the offense's goal. On the whistle the offens starts playing and defense has to matchup and start guarding immediately. After each turn, we move the offensive players to different spots on the floor so that the defense has to find a player and start guarding.
We are also playing a lot of 2on2, 3on3, 3on4, and 5on5.
