Tactical Focus:
Defend Space
|
 |
The game settings are quite similar to the game of basketball. The purpose is to teach players positioning/use of space. |
|
The game will start with a jump ball |
|
The point of the game is to shoot the ball into the basketball net |
|
Each player is given a specific area in the gym to guard while playing defense |
|
The team on offense may move anywhere around the gym |
|
No dribbling is permitted, only passing is allowed whether it be a chest pass or bounce pass |
|
Every player on offense must touch the ball before a shot can be taken |
|
Shots can be blocked by a defending opponent. |
|
If a foul occurs or the ball goes out of play, the opposing teams regains possession of the ball anywhere on the sidelines. |
|
While doing throw ins, the player can run anywhere up and down the side lines to make a safe pass to a team mate |
|
 |
 |
|
Change the number of passes required before a shot can be taken |
|
The player throwing in the ball must remain in one spot vs ability to run up and down the side lines |
|
A shot can be taken from the sidelines |
|
Increase or decrease the number of players on the court at a time |
|
Add another ball into the game to increase ones awareness of the ball and the space given |
|
If players are having trouble getting the ball into the hoop then change the point of the game to reach the opposing side. |
|

 |
|
What are effective ways for teams to cover space when on defense? |
|
Can use either person-to-person or zone defense. Discuss the pros and cons with participants. |
|
When the zones are small, players will learn how to play person to person as there is less space to run around. |
|
When the space is large, players will grasp the idea of zone defence as they have a large zone to take care of not just a player to guard |
|
|
 |
|
Start with giving the defending players a small zone to guard. Once they have mastered the concept of space, we can enlarge the zone |
|
Increase the height of the net when students grasp the idea of passing and throwing |
