- Offensive player stands at the 3-point line. Defender is inside the paint.
- Offense shoots (or coach shoots from the side).
- On the shot, defender finds their man, makes contact with their back, and seals them out.

Coaching tips
Box out is won BEFORE the ball comes down. Find your man first, then pivot into them. Hips low, arms wide — make yourself big.
