Coaches must be prepared to Break the Press when their opponent starts their Full or Half Court press. These handouts are designed to teach basic plays and drills to develop your players skills. The team that is not prepared for pressure defense usually does not have a good chance of winning the game. Winning may not be a coaches top priority, but losing is not fun at all. No matter what – Coaches do not want their team to get embarrassed just because their players are not ready for the press. Get your players prepared for any type of Full Court Pressure and stay in the game!
