How to Double the Ball
- Camel
- Why to double
- force a turnover
- stop the ball carrier
- dictate where the offensive guy goes
- A double is not a slide, its a planned effort in a prime situation
- When to double
- With two guys in the back, far from the goal
- When the offensive guy turns his back its time to double
- Make sure the ball carrier can't see you, double at the back of the helmet
- How to double
- Good approach, stop body, opposite shoulder as the other defender
- Other Defenders
- Look to slide to pickup the offensive guy whose man doubled
Drill: Double Team practice drill
- One offensive player
- Two defensive players
- Drives down the alley, turns his back, force the double
- Can do this as a 3v3 to work on second slide
