Basketball drills

Setup

• All players scattered around the room (circle the trainer)

Performance

• Jumping rope: 
  • 2 minutes of normal (forward).
• Mountain climbers: 
  • 15 seconds.
• Skipping rope: 
  • 2 minutes alternating: 
  • left front, right back/right front, left back.
• Mountainclimbers: 
  • 30 seconds.
• Skipping rope: 
  • 2 minutes alternating: 
  • left leg, right leg.
• Mountain climbers: 
  • 45 seconds.

• 1 or 2 rows just below the board on either side of the basket. 
• Make sure there are at least 4 players per row.
• Ball is thrown against the board next to the basket and "tipped" into the tide by the next player (catch it two hands and throw it back to the board immediately). 
• The third player catches this ball again, etcetera. 
• After the action, a player closes behind the (other) row. 
• The exercise is finished when a minimum number of successful tips in a row have been achieved (without the ball touching the ground).
• Variation:
  • Players must pass behind the coach before they may rejoin the (other) row. 
  • The coach walks backwards slowly, which means they have to run harder. (This is a must with rows of 6 or more players).
  • The ball must be both caught and thrown again during 1 jump. (is quite difficult for smaller or weaker players)
  • Advice: 
    • This can also involve deducting 1 point in the event of a failed tip instead of starting again at zero.

      
      

• Player stands on the wing position with a ball, in front of her there is a defender. 
• An attacker and a defender are at the guard position. 
• The attacker cuts in to the 6-spot and back up, the defender defends along with her. 
• Once back up, the defender stands and the attacker cuts inside again and gets the ball with a good pass from the winger. 
• He then finishes 1 to 0. 
• Make it more difficult or easier by adjusting defenses or using more players.

• The players all stand back to back on the center line. 
• On the sideline there are 4 different colored cones. 
• The players have to do triple trades on the center line and step sliders to the height of the color that the coach mentioned. 
• And then back again.

• Players divide into 2 groups at the sideline.
• Group in runs 1 length back and forth from sideline to sideline.
• When everyone in the group is back the other group runs.
• Then 2 times then 3 times then 4 times. 
• Then reduce back to 1 time.

This exercise is intended to teach the basics of HELP defense

Explanation

• Explain weak side/strong side.
• Explain 3 positions: man with ball, strong side, weak side.
• Make pairs: 1 attacker, 1 defender.
• Stand in attack.
• Put defenders down.

Practicing

• Practice dry passing only static.
• Send to the baseline!
• Swap out the help: 
  • By calling

• Everyone takes a position on the field!
• You are going to focus on:
  • Defending between the man and the basket.
  • Free running. ( in-out)
  • Always pass.

• Everyone has a ball.
• Everyone starts dribbling in a certain box. 
• If your ball is tapped away, you have to fetch it and score on the other basket.
• When you have scored, you may return to the box.

• You make 2 teams divided over 2 baskets.
• The first to reach the proposed number of scores wins.
• The losing team does a half-killer.

• Parties with different assignments/restrictions. 
• Please note:
  • Walk freely.
  • Do not dribble blindly.
  • Pass well.
  • Pivot.
  • Talking.
• 3x3 without dribbling. (1 basket)
• First 10 passes.
• Both teams on the back line. (on stomach)
• Trainer puts ball in play via shot or bounce. (Quick positioning, who will attack?).
• Just play to the 10 (end game).

  
  

• Two or three teams. (teams)
• Per pair or trio 1 ball.
• 1 shooter, 1 (or 2) rebounder(s).
• Shooter shoots (from free throw line, or lower position), then sprints to centre line.
• Rebounder catches ball, passes ball to shooter. (Good jump stop, correct distance, call for ball).
• Shooter 5 scores in total, then new shooter.
• Team of which first all shooters have scored 5 times, wins!

• 2 teams.
• Behind the baseline each team has 6 pots.
• If you score, you may add one of the other teams' pots to your own.  
• First team with 9 pots behind its baseline wins.
  • Left lay up.
  • Left jump stop - cross over.
  • Left lay back.
  • Free throws.
