πŸ”₯3-2 Match Up Zone Drill: Defending the DHO and Protecting the Middle In this clip, Denton HS (TX) head coach Michael Thomas @Coachmdthomas demonstrates a 4 on 4 drill used to train key principles of the 3-2 Match Up Zone. Players work on midline positioning, denying the middle, communicating on dribble handoff actions, and making two-foot defensive rotations before the drill eventually builds into 5 on 5. This great drill comes from the new instructional video "Building a Disruptive & Dominating 3-2 Match Up Zone Defense"! πŸ€ #learnfromthebest #becomeyourbest ⚑️Learn more here: championshipproductions.com/… (Via @ChampProduction πŸ“½οΈπŸ€)
