This four-on-four shell drill is mainly a shifting and rotation drill. Its objective is to drive home the "Near Man Rule."
Near Man Rule: If/when the skip/diagonal pass is made over to the helpside of the defense, all players must immediately rotate to the nearest opponent on the flight of the pass.
