Description

Practice trapping by adding a trap to the traditional zig zag drill.

Summary

Begin with a ball handler at the baseline / sideline corner with a defender. Set a defender at the elbow, mid-court / sideline, far elbow and far baseline / sideline corner. The drill starts like a simple zig zag drill. The ball handler dribbles towards the elbow. At the elbow the second defender traps the ball handler. The ball handler uses an escape move (power dribble / hip swivel / cross over or reverse dribble) to get out of the trap and moves to the next corner. Repeat all the way down court. If a ball handler has to pick up the dribble she executes a step back / step through move and passes to a coach who returns the pass to the ball handler. The drill resumes from that point. Teach and focus solid trapping techniques and trap escape moves and footwork and attacking one trapper with the dribble.  X-REF – HANDLING TRAPS
