i coach a 6th grade school girls team and we played in a league last year were you couldnt press till the last half but this year we moved to a bigger more competitve league that presses the whole game.last year during the 2nd half all the teams played full court man to man. but they would get confused when the other team subed.so i would like to know a easy to learn press that puts double teams on the ball handlers cause at this age they usely dont have but a couple of girls that can handle the ball and can easily go to half court if they beat the press across half court
well watch euroleague matches
i'm sorry but, i'm a little confused. were you asking a question cause after reading it thrice i don't see what your getting to. sorry.
You have a couple of options. First you can do a 1-3-1 half court trap defense where you trap the ball right when it crosses the half court line. It is not much of a full court press but if done correctly it can really drive opposing guards nuts, especially if they are inexperienced. You can do the same 1-3-1 but extend it to full court. Or you can do a 1-2-2. put one person on the OOB passer and two by the free throw line and two at half court. Since this is a 6th grade league not too many of them should be able to pass a full length pass. Once the ball gets thrown in play the person on the ball and one of the guards traps right away and the oppostite gaurd plays the first pass. The two at half court just make sure that no one gets behind them and offer help to the 3 players doing the trapping.
