Tap The Hat
A good 1v1 or up to 3v3 drill to teach a kid how to approach a running offensive player.
- You put a cone in the middle of the box
- Put a line of kids at the top of the box
- Put a line behind the cage
- The person behind the cage throws the ball to the player at the top of the box
- The person who threw the ball goes and plays defense on the person he just threw the ball to, but first he must tap the hat (cone)
- You can make this 1v1 to start and move it to 3v3
