4v3 Tight Keep Away

Set up:

  • 9 yard x 9 yard area
  • No off ball movement or dodging by offense
  • Defense must rotate to the ball with every pass and split two with off ball players

I love this keep away drill in a 9 yard by 8 yard area because it teaches so many things!  The player with the ball must complete a pass under pressure by throwing the ball around her defender while keeping an eye on and trying to deceive the off ball defenders so they can't pick off the ball.  

Teaching points:

  • Don't switch hands!
  • Pass and fake with all angles: sidearm, underhand, BTB, backhand, around the world
  • Don't switch hands!
