Young athletes and even more experienced players seem to struggle against a press or trap. Too often players over react in an attempt to secure the basketball and pick up their dribble which often leads to a turnover or at a minimum a breakdown in the offense. It is important for a player to maintain their dribble until they are ready to pass.
The Attack & Retreat dribble drill is a good way to reinforce the maintaining of the dribble by backing away from the trap and then attack again.
Remember...Practice Hard...PLAY HARD!!
