P/R Reads: 3v3 live step up

This drill can be played 2-on-2 or 3-on-3. The offense starts in step-up ball screen spacing with a ball handler on the wing, a teammate in the strong-side corner, and an optional third offensive player on the opposite wing or corner. How it Works: The ball handler begins with a live dribble on the wing. The player in the strong-side corner steps up to set a step-up ball screen on the ball handler’s defender, then dives to the basket. As the screen action occurs, the opposite offensive player shakes up behind the three-point line to create a passing outlet. The offense plays live out of the action, reading the coverage and creating a scoring opportunity. Play continues until a basket or a defensive stop, then teams switch offense and defense. Focus Points: Step-up ball screen timing and spacing Pick-and-roll reads out of the corner Screening angles and hard dives to the rim Weak-side shake timing and spacing Live decision-making in small-sided play
