Practice trapping and trap escapes.

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.  X-REF – DEFENSE
