My Favorite Drill #7: 5-on-5 Catch-Up

Another drill that many of us have seen before or at least some variation of it is 5-on-5 Catch-Up.  This version of the drill uses 10 players.  I have used it with in a 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 setting as well.  I like drills like this because in allows you teach multiple aspects of the game, it is competitive, it is intense and the kids like it.  Being we are a team that likes to push the action offensively, it is a great way for us to simulate a game like fast break situation.

My Favorite Drill #6: 5-on-4 Rotate and Communicate

5-on-4 Rotate and Communicate is a great defensive drill to teach communication and rotational defense in scramble situations.  I got the drill from head women's coach, Amy Williams, down at the University of South Dakota when she presented her transition offense at a clinic here in Sioux Falls, SD.  She did a great job of presenting her transition offense.
