Confuse your opponent and create more turnovers with the Full Court Animal Press basketball defense.
Coach Mano Watsa of PGC Basketball breaks it all down so you can implement it with your team right away.
In this session, you’ll learn how to use wolves, foxes, and bears to keep constant pressure on the ball, force mistakes, and set the tone for your team’s defensive identity. This breakdown covers both strategy and drills, making it easy to teach and run the press at any level of play. If you’ve struggled to get your players to press effectively—or if you want a system that creates controlled chaos without confusing your own team—this is your playbook. Along the way, you’ll also discover practical basketball press drills and defensive strategies that translate into more wins on the court.
