About This Play/Drill

This drill works on wing jumpers, defensive closeouts, passing and catching, and maximizes efficiency during valuable practice time.

  • CLOSE OUT JUMPERS begins with a passer at the top of the key, a player on each wing, and a player on each block. The Gun will remain stationary throughout the drill.
     

  • After the Gun feeds the passer, the passer alternates passing to each wing for a shot. Defenders close out when the ball is passed to their side, then become the shooter.
