Pick and Roll

Instructions

1. 1Set up with a ball handler at the top of the key and a screener on the wing
2. 2Place two cones to act as defenders - one for the ball handler and one for the screener
3. 3Position two pillars in the key to mark the channel where the pass should be made
4. 4The screener sets a solid screen on the ball handler's defender (cone)
5. 5The ball handler rounds the defender (cone), creating space between himself and the screener
6. 6The screener rolls to the basket after setting the screen
7. 7The ball handler passes to the screener through the channel marked by the two pillars
8. 8Practice both sides of the court and switch roles

Pro Tips

• The screener must set a solid, stationary screen with feet shoulder-width apart
• The ball handler should round the defender tightly to create maximum space
• Creating space between the ball handler and screener is key to opening the passing lane
• Aim your pass through the channel between the two pillars for accuracy
• The screener should roll hard to the basket after setting the screen
• Communication between the ball handler and screener is crucial
• Focus on the timing of the screen and the precision of the pass through the channel
