Close-out 3x
 | 1 Ian MacKinnon Each player closes out three times (forcing left) then goes off. As part of a pre-game warm-up, there are no coaches on the floor, players close out to spots (see Shooting - Pre-game). 1 closes out at the top, takes two defensive slides to his right (forcing a ballhandler to his left hand), recovers to the middle of the lane. |
 | 2 As 1 closes out to the left wing, 2 closes out to the top, both players take two slides left then recover into the lane. |
 | 3 1 closes out to the right wing, 2 closes out to the left wing, 3 closes out to the top, all players take two defensive slides, 2 and 3 recover to the lane, 1 goes off, 4 goes next. Progressions - coaches take 1-2 dribbles to their left - replace coaches with players. Variation - defenders hold a pinnie overhead, stretched between both hands, start with close out and recover (no defensive slides), progressions - coaches jab step right - coaches jab step left - coaches take two dribbles to their left. See Defending - Close-out 4x. |
