4v4 shell: slide and recover
Setup
Four offensive players on the corners (top and wings), four defenders. Offense passes around and one player dodges; the adjacent defender slides, everyone rotates, then recovers. No shots at first, then live.
Coaching points
- Know your slide: name the hot man before every dodge
- Hot man slides on the dodger's hands, not the body
- Fill: the next defender rotates to the open man
- Talk the whole time: 'I'm hot', 'two', 'ball'
