2-2-1 Press Variations

The first press style that we are going to look at today is the common 2-2-1 press.  This is one of my favorite presses because there are so many different things that you can do within it to cause problems for teams.  Some coaches will use it as a means to simply slow teams down by means of containment looking only to get long lazy passes.  Other coaches will use it as a very aggressive style to trapping and causing turnovers.  There are a number of coaches who are known for using a 2-2-1 variation press.  We will take a brief look at some of these coaches.



As you review these resources, you will find some common elements between them as well as some noticeable differences.  Hopefully you will find something that you can use, even if it is just a teaching point, concept or drill.
