5-on-5 Whistle Scramble Drill

Teams play 5-on-5; on the whistle, the ball is placed down, and defenders must scramble in transition to match up with a different offensive player and communicate matchups immediately.

Key points

  • Sprint immediately to the paint on the whistle to protect the basket
  • Point and talk loudly to match up with an unmarked offensive player
  • Close out with active hands and establish team defensive shell

Common mistakes

Failing to communicate matchups, leaving offensive players wide open, or guarding the same person you had previously.
