Demonstration video coming soon

Instructions

  1. 1Set up a 4v3 shell drill with the offense moving the ball to create a slide situation.
  2. 2Slide from the adjacent defender the instant the dodge beats the on-ball defender.
  3. 3Communicate the slide loudly before it happens, not during.
  4. 4Rotate the entire defense to cover the next pass, not just the slider.

What to focus on

Calling the slide early enough for the whole unit to rotate together.

Common mistake

Sliding late, after the dodger has already turned the corner.
