Circle the Wagon
Emphasize is on boxing out and communication.
Players 1,2,3 and 4 are on defense.
Players 5,6,7 and 8 are on offense.
The coach calls "kick" and the defensive players slide in anti clockwise direction, calling out the names of the offensive players as they pass them.
After a 5-10 second period, the coach shoots the ball, and the offensive players crash the boards.
Defensive players must box out and come up with the rebound. If the ball is rebounded by the offense, play 4 on 4 till a stop or a score.
The defense must get three stops in a row.
Variation:
You can also go into 4 on 4 transition to the other end of the court and back on a score or on a stop.
