Trapping for all defense

first and most important thing= doesn't matter what trap we run, its all the same system.  22, chaos, go traps, stack and split.  Its all the same.....................the kids understand the concept, they understand the system.  I'm not really running different defenses.

Football coach= 10 plays from 60 different formations.

22 up= started with 23 trap in 5th grade, then extended it to half, then extended it 3 qtr, then went full all as they grew older.  never taught a new defense.

1) if you don't have players you're screwed

2) Coaches clinic at Kennedy, old dude showed his offense, then shoed it against zone, then showed how its his pressbreak, then show how he could run it against anything.  Simplicity= concepts

Trapping drills

two types of trap

NBA contain trap= two guys side by side, just alter pass and your teammates will get steal.  more to contain a great guard who you can't steal the ball from.  Chris Paul trap

Regular V trap= put pressure on player in trap go for a tip.  One player forces sprint dribble, other player takes an angle to lock in the v

Channel Trapping, can also be an offensive drill, put passing boxes up.


put cones up on key lines, if you want to work on contain trap start d at each one of the front cones, if you want to angle v trap, start one player on the ball and the other at the last cone they will attack dribbler once they cross the first cone.

then did shell with go traps.

did system traps next= Chaos, etc
