Closing Speed and Approaching an Attacker - Warm Up Drill

Players will ball make strong pass to partners and immediately sprint to close down the space. They sprint to the midpoint cone and then decelerate, get low and prepared to shuffle to stay in front of attacker. They should turn slightly to the side they want to force the ball to and shuffle toward attacker, eventually tapping them on shoulder. After the tap, they sprint back to their starting cone and the player with the ball starts the drill over.
