Basketball drill: 1 against 1 back half field

Requirements:
players must be able to dribble a layup run

Objective:
to increase attacking ability in 1 against 1

Organization:

• player 1 receives the ball from 3
• 3 moves backwards
• 1 unbalances 3, passes and goes hard to the basket
• the defender's task is to stop the dribble
• loser continues to defend on the same side
• winner attacks on the other side

Teaching Points:

• attacker must aggressively close the distance
• dribble straight at the defender
• throw the defender off balance
• attacker must be unpredictable
• choose which side to pass on at the last moment
• Use feints in the dribble
• After passing, go full speed towards the basket
• play with guts
• If you cannot, regain your balance and try another technique, e.g. backup dribble + jump shot.
