About This Play/Drill

This continuous 3v3 drill teaches the defense to defend the flex action using different roles with different communication responsibilities. The drill will will be repeated three times so each defensive player has an opportunity to practice each part.

  • 3 calls the screen and provides help.
  • 2 goes over the cross screen on the baseline and communicates when matched back up.
  • 1 communicates the down screen and opens up to allow 3 to get through the screen.
  • 3 informs 1 when he is through the screen and matched up.
