6 v 0 & 7 v 0

 This is a drill designed to assist with your offense with what they do when the ball goes on the ground.  
Most importantly, do not give up a fast break going the other way.  Where do you go, where do you run 
to, where to you line up.  Cover the field, make it a big field.  Make the defensive team cover as much of 
the field as possible.
