Shielding the ball
Organization:
Instructions:
- Player 1 dribbles to his right or left. Player 2 peels off to the opposite side and receives pass from Player 1. After his/her pass, Player 1 runs to recover. As Player 2 receives from Player 1, Player 3 makes a run forward to receive from Player 2. Player 3 then shields the ball and waits for Player 2, to rejoin and play 2v1.
