Drill

Instructions

1. 1Start a live scrimmage with one team already trailing by five points to simulate a run against them.
2. 2Call a timeout for the trailing team to reset a single, specific focus point.
3. 3Play out the remainder of the set, tracking whether the team stabilizes or continues to slide.
4. 4Debrief on what specific adjustment stopped or failed to stop the bleeding.

What to focus on

One clear, specific adjustment communicated and executed immediately after the reset.

Recommended reps

Simulated scoring runs (start team down 0-5) across multiple sets

Common mistake

Trying to fix everything at once instead of committing to one specific adjustment.
