Pressing
Florida circle trap

Six players are around a foul circle. Coach passes to any player, the two closest players trap him, foul with their bodies but can't touch him with their hands (trappers don't get steals). The third defender is an interceptor. There's no dribbling, and the other attackers can't move. The player being trapped should not put the ball over his head, it makes you weak, pivot and sweep the floor like a broom, grab some space. He must fake a pass before making a pass. There is no 5-second count, don't turn the ball over, the trappers can't steal.
