CHECKPOINTS

"Sideline Push"

One of the basic principles of disruptive pressure defense is to keep the ball out of the middle Red Zone", and influence it into a trap zone. Checkpoints represent specific spots on the court for the defender to push or influence the opponent with the ball. These exact locations include the corners, free throw line extended, baseline and half court. Defensive players will quickly learn the value of checkpoints in their individual defensive efforts.

When the ball is on the wing, the defender should make every attempt to push the ball towards the corner or baseline checkpoints.
