Defending Close-out 3x

| 1 Ian MacKinnon
Each player closes out three times (forcing left) then goes off. As part of a pre-game warm-up, there are no coaches on the floor, players close out to spots (see Shooting - Pre-game).
1 closes out at the top, takes two defensive slides to his right (forcing a ballhandler to his left hand), recovers to the middle of the lane. |

| 2 As 1 closes out to the left wing, 2 closes out to the top, both players take two slides left then recover into the lane. |

| 3 1 closes out to the right wing, 2 closes out to the left wing, 3 closes out to the top, all players take two defensive slides, 2 and 3 recover to the lane, 1 goes off, 4 goes next.
