Drill 3 - 3 on 3 Serbian Closeout Drill

=3 on 3 Serbian Closeout Drill= One of my absolute favourite drills. As with most combination drills many fundamental skills can be practiced in this 3 on 3 drill. The three defenders will begin out of bounds with a ball.

The offensive players are positioned outside the 3 pt. line at the wings and point. The defenders will pass the ball along the baseline and then X3 will pass to O3 at the wing.

After passing the ball, X1 sprints across the court and closes out to O3. After passing, X2 closes out to O2, and X3 will closeout to O1. The drill becomes live as soon as O3 receives the ball. The offensive players may reverse the ball or may drive at any time.

Defensively the following points should be emphasized: Offensively the following points should be emphasized:
 * Sprint to position
 * Closeout out low with high hands
 * Communicate – who is guarding the ball and who in help position
 * Establish help position quickly
 * Get in stance and stay in stance
 * Attack penetration early
 * Look to penetrate by attacking the defender closing out
 * Move off the penetration
 * Find the open player when the defence rotates
