Defensive System – Pack Line $ Sparta Defense It’s no secret that defense wins championships. You can learn how to build a defensive system that takes away opponents perimeter shots in this video by well-known Canadian women’s basketball coach Chantal Vallee. The head coach of the University of Windsor women’s team and the head coach and general manager of the Hamilton Honey Badgers Canadian Elite Basketball League team, Vallee shows you how she won five straight CIS national championships. You get an inside look into a training camp session where Coach Vallee teaches her defensive system. You will see detailed lecture complete with diagrams as well as on-court walkthroughs with players in this presentation. Coach Vallee begins with a 1-on-1 closeout drill to warmup her players then proceeds to show you how to squeeze the space your opponent can use while preventing drives with the Pack Line defense. Coach Vallee also details the Sparta man-to-man defense that has the primary purpose of eliminating the 3-point shot. Pack Defense One of the primary goals of the Pack defense is to force an opponent to use their weak hand and then provide help support on any dribble penetration. Coach Vallee shows you how to build this strategy using 2-on-2 drills all the way up to a full 5-on-5. The drills work to teach players the proper defensive positioning to force opponents to go to the weak side of the floor. Coach Vallee explains how to rotate defenders on baseline drives and how rotations adjust based on the position of the post defender. Sparta Defense The whole idea of the Sparta defense is to prevent 3-point shots. Less help is provided in this defense as defenders work to deny their match-up. The on-ball defender must force their match-up into a low percentage shot using the proper close out, creating a cushion on the drive, and challenging the shot with what is known as the “ghosting” technique. If you love playing man-to-man, Coach Vallee has a system that uses some unique tactics that you can incorporate into your system for maximum effect.

2 Man Basketball Plays & 3-Man Game: Offensive Reads & Concepts Hamilton Honey Badgers head coach and general manager Chantel Vallee was the first female in Canada to become a professional head coach and GM. What separates her from the rest of the pack is an ability to teach the game like no other. In this 2 Man Basketball Plays video, Coach Vallee breaks down her dribble handoff action and how it is used to create an explosive, unpredictable, and un-scoutable defense. You will see demonstrations of the offense and how to master the different actions that make up the offense. Dribble Handoff Action The offense is initiated with a dribble handoff executed high up the floor. This allows for more space. Players learn how to read what defenders give them and what they may do after a handoff is made. This helps players identify easy scoring opportunities and how to make quick decisions. Missed Dribble Handoff In becoming more familiar with the offense, players must develop their basketball IQ. If players miss a handoff or if they pick up their dribble, they still have options to score. They must know these options – especially cutters – to put pressure on defenses. Post Entry If you have a strong post player that can score, bringing him/her higher up the floor can create some mismatches. Coach Vallee demonstrates a few options that include the post not putting the ball on the floor and looking to pass to a cutter right away. This creates an opportunity for the cutter and also for the post player rolling to the basket or popping out after the pass. Step Up Ball Screen Watch as Coach Vallee uses a 2-on-2 drill to break down all the possible options for defending a ball screen. Icing it, going over the top, and going under the screen are covered. Coach Vallee also demonstrates the 2-man game off-ball action as part of her Elbow series. The ball goes to the post in the middle and players create screening action off the ball and learn to read how a defense reacts. Multiple Actions Players that can master the 2-man game actions are ones that will make your team more versatile. You can use multiple 2-man games to add actions together and make it difficult for defenses to prepare. This is an excellent video for teaching players how to read defenses and to build a player’s basketball IQ. It’s a must-have for coaches looking to dominate 2- and 3-man situations.
