Ball Screen Flat Switch Basketball Drill

Ball Screen Flat Switch Basketball Drill

 

This ball screen flat switch basketball drill simulates a big man flat switching out onto the ball handler. The big man knows that they are not as quick as the ball handler, so they will sit right below the 3 point line and give space and time for themselves to react.

What you will do is back up, get a running start at the post player, and then make your move to go past them to the basket. Don’t play with the basketball when you make your move, but be efficient and attack aggressively downhill. You must know the different basketball fundamentals of using a ball screen and be prepared for any type of ball screen defense that the other team throws at you.
