This week's skill is Tod's Deserted Island Drill, Kamikaze. This game is awesome for so many reasons. The game is a 4 v. 4 out of system game with basically one rule: the back row players set. You play with two front row players and two back row players and it really makes the back row and front communicate, be aggressive, and work together in order to protect the whole court. Tod goes into it in detail and explains how coaches can use it with their teams.

In our scenario segment, we go over the gear that coaches need for a multi-day tournament. There's nothing new here except for some great tips for which gear to use in the current club tournament setup. We include the links below!
