10 Min	Double Team Drill Players match up one-on-one running from the midline down the side alley. Defender drives dodger down the alley, stays on his back hip/shoulder. Once the offensive player crosses the restraining line, he tries to break across the line marking the side of the box. A second defender slides from the middle of the “heart” to prevent the dodger from entering the box. Focus on sliding under control, maintaining the double team and communicating. The original defender should prevent the dodger from rolling back when the slide arrives.
