Beat the Pylons

Setup

Set two cones either side of the free throw line, a few steps apart. One attacker, one defender.

How it runs

1. The attacker tries to run through the gap between the two cones.
2. The defender's only job is to stop him getting through.
3. Play short reps, then swap roles.
4. Ask the defender what worked before telling him anything.

Coaching point

The stance at the start decides the rep; most players are beaten because they begin too tall.
