Shell Drill with Personnel-Based Closeouts
In this segment, Coach Marshall elevates the traditional shell drill by integrating her color-coded personnel system. Players are required to close out based on the designated “color” (green = shooter, yellow = versatile, red = driver) while also reinforcing core defensive principles—gap defense, midline positioning, and strong help-side support.

By layering personnel awareness into the shell, athletes learn to defend with both technique and tactical awareness.
