Circle Match-Up Box-Out and Transition

Box-out drill for 3v3, 4v4, or 5v5 groups. Defenders communicate, identify the right player to box out, and transition quickly after securing the rebound.

Instructions

1. - Position offensive players in different spots on the floor.
2. - Defenders jog in a circle.
3. - When a shot goes up, each defender matches the closest attacker and boxes out.
4. - If offense gets the rebound, continue play.
5. - If defense gets the rebound, make a quick transition to the other basket.
6. - Score 1 point for an offensive rebound and 1 point for a basket.

Coaching Points

• Make contact with the attacker before going to the ball.
• Make contact as far from the basket as possible. Do not wait for the attacker to enter the paint.
