1-on-1 Low, Level, and Lock Drill

Live 1-on-1 containment drill emphasizing the 'Three Ls' (Low, Level, and Lock) to cut off straight-line dribble penetration and absorb the offensive drive with a horizontal first step.

Key points

  • Get low with defensive shoulders below the offensive player's shoulders
  • Level off the driver by beating them horizontally on their first dribble step
  • Lock on and slide or turn and run to wall up without fouling

Common mistakes

Standing too upright, lunging on the first step, or failing to turn and run when beaten.
