Basketball drills

Players gather on the right or left side of the center line.
The first two have a ball.
There are two catchers under the basket.
From the center line you dribble to the basket and make a lay-up.
The catcher catches the ball and passes it to the next player in line.
You do this until you have scored 15 times and then you change sides.

• One person shoots free throws.
• The other players stand in the rebound positions and try to get the ball by outboxing.
• Every 2 free throws you rotate.

• Starting position:
  • 1 group near the center line, right
  • 1 group a few meters behind the center line, middle
  • Ball in the middle
• Progression:
  • Player 1 dribbles in 2 dribbles to the three-point line
  • Player 1 passes to player 2 who runs along
  • Player 2 does a layup
  • Player 1 takes the rebound and makes an outlet pass to player 2 who runs through
  • Player 2 connects in the middle
  • Player 1 connects on the right
• Progression:
  • Extra defender under goal
  • Score 10 layups in a row (or as many as there are players)
• Regression:
  • Reduce distance to three-point line

• Starting lineup:
  • 1 group bottom left bucket
  • 1 group top left bucket
  • 1 group right bottom bucket

• Sequence:
  • Player 1 passes to player 4
  • Player 4 passes back to player 1 who comes running towards him
  • Player 1 does a hand-off to player 4
  • After this, the next session starts:
    • Player 1 to player 4
    • Player 4 to player 2
    • Player 2 to player 3
    • Player 3 to player 1
  • This exercise lasts max 2 minutes and serves to get players alert
• Progression:
  • With 2 balls
  • With 3 balls

• Outward, the classic weave is run.
• Back, the weave is run up to the center line.
• The next 3 players ready to run the weave catch the current 3 players half court and a 3 versus 3 situation is created from which a score must always be scored.
• After the score, the newest 3 players run the weave and the next 3 will catch these players half court for a 3 versus 3.

• One shooter to the left and one shooter to the right of the Bucket
• The rest of the players stand under the board with a ball
• White passes to the trainer -triangle red
• The trainer passes left or right to one of the shooters
• White provides a good Close Out, going high towards the shooter with 2 arms and contesting the shooter
• The archer tries to hit under pressure
• After 1 minute switch shooters
• Variation: different shooting positions

• Players divide along the length of the field, so they stand on a sideline.
• They are going to perform this exercise in the width of the field.
• In the middle of this field are scattered a number of pawns.
• Everyone has a ball.

• Players dribble to the pawns in the middle, there they hold the ball and pivot 5x.
• Then they dribble on to the other side.
• Once there, turn around and dribble with the ball as fast as possible to the starting point.
• Then do it all over again.

• Dribble extremely low -bounce no higher than ankle height
• Dribble low -below knee
• Dribble normal -hip height

• Have the players sit while dribbling
• Now have the players stand up dribbling
• Have the players dribble sitting down again
• Players now dribble between their legs
• Have them stand again and make 8s between their legs, then ball around the waist as fast as possible, then the other way.
