Improve Defensive Communication (Video)
Improve your team’s communication on defense this season with 2-on-2 Defensive Manipulation.
Coach TJ Rosene uses this drill to take away weapons from the defensive team to challenge them. When you take away some weapons, you force your defense to:
- Find ways to communicate better.
- Learn how to get around obstacles.
- Trust each other.
In your practices, you can manipulate the defense in whatever ways will serve your team. Here are some examples to get you started:
- One defender can only use one hand; the other can use both hands.
- Neither defender can use their hands.
- Both defenders can use their non-dominant hand only.
