Type: Individual Defense, Dribbling

Description:

Players in pairs, using both sides of the court.

One player in pair is on defense, she steps onto

court with ball and hands offensive player the ball.

Each pair must stay on own side of the court.

Using good defensive stance and footwork to

gain correct position, defensive attempts to

turn the dribbler at least three times in the back

court and then attempts to channel offensive

Upon reaching end of court, both players 

sprint back to other end and rejoin line.

Next time down, offense and defense swap places.

Swap groups to opposite sides of court halfway through allotted time.
