4-on-3 Overload Scramble Drill

Three defenders guard four offensive players, constantly scrambling, communicating, and closing out to protect the paint and contest open perimeter shooters.

Key points

  • Maintain high defensive urgency and hustle on every pass
  • Communicate rotations so the two closest defenders always guard the ball and nearest pass
  • Close out with high hands and recover quickly on ball reversal

Common mistakes

Two defenders closing out to the same offensive player, or giving up easy middle penetration.
