Ball Handling: 3 person in the arc handling

Three or more players. – Create a small circle using cones, the center circle, or the free-throw circle. – Two offensive players start inside the circle with one basketball. – One defender starts in the middle of the circle. How it Works: The two offensive players play live 2-on-1 inside the circle, focusing on ball movement and spacing. The player with the ball cannot hold it longer than three seconds. The off-ball offensive player may set a screen, initiate a handoff, or move into open space to receive a pass. The defender works to steal the ball, force a deflection, or cause a three-second violation. Play continues until the defense earns a stop, then rotate roles. Focus Points: – Tight-space ball handling and quick decision-making – Passing under pressure in limited space – Off-ball movement: screening, handoffs, and relocation – Defender: active hands, anticipation, and positioning in 2-on-1 situations
