1 on 1 Wing Closeout Basketball Drill

 

One on one basketball drills are a great way to evaluate your player’s weaknesses and strengths because there is no help, and the spotlight is on those two players. The one on one wing closeout basketball drill allows you to work on individual man to man defense and the different offensive basketball moves the players have been working on. The competition aspect of the drill will also show you which players really want to compete in a game situation.

Make sure that as this defensive basketball drill gets going and players start getting competitive, that you still really lock in and focus on the fundamentals of a good closeout, being in a defensive stance, etc. It will be critical that you hold all of your players accountable. With basketball drills like this, you don’t want to be practicing any bad habits that are going to carry over to a game.
