To work on pressing, start scrimmage in a pressing situation, re-start play after

  • a defensive rebound
  • a defensive rebound or made basket (break on a steal)
  • ball out of bounds
  • one trip or two trips.

Other options to emphasize pressing and breaking the press:

  • one day the ball has to cross halfcourt on the dribble, the next day on the pass (Greg Kampe)
  • other restrictions
  • use only one side of the court (2 on 2 fullcourt)
  • more defenders than attackers (5 on 6 or 7), or vice versa, to halfcourt or fullcourt
  • the first team presses the second team (Xavier)
  • play fullcourt to a stop or score then the same team always inbounds, both ways
  • start with an inbounds play, or free throw (free-throw break).up
