About This Play/Drill

A great drill that simultaneously improves your team and individual players offensively and defensively is a series of 3 on 3 drills. Offensively, we work on dribble hand-offs, cuts, shooting, passing, catching, screens, and timing. Defensively, we work on communication and the different ways to defend screens. I also like this drill because it helps to reduce turnovers.

  • A great drill to help reduce turnovers is a modified 3 on 3 (3 dribbles maximum). It is a great offseason drill with lots of options. This one is called "3 on 3 down". Offense is only allowed to score on pin down screens.

  • Wings work on using the screen. The screener works on sealing after he sets the screen.

  • If the first option is not open 1 sets a down screen for the 4. Lots of skills are built upon on this drill; moving without the ball, proper screens, what to do after setting a screen and timing, which gets lost in most offseason training. Also defenses learn how to read the offense. They can switch, stay, hedge. It forces the offense to get creative.

  • The next game is "3 on 3 UP". This game like "3 on 3 down" allows the offense only to score on backscreens.
