Basketball drills

  • For fitness this is a good exercise:
  • The group has to line up and you let them start dribbling slowly.
  • As soon as the trainer blows the whistle, the last one in line should run forward.
  • Do this until everyone has run and then let them finish the circle.

Assume the correct position after intake, rebound or score

drawing 5 out (part 1)
  • 2 numbers a few meters apart
    • x number of chesst pass
    • x number of bounce passes
    • x number of overhead pass
    • x number of bounce pass out
    • x number of baseball pass
  • Add if necessary
    • Defender
    • pass from the dribble



Everyone a ball

  • Outward zig/zag dribble around pawns and finish with lay-up
  • Back various assignments (Crabwalk, backwards dribble, between the legs) and also finish with lay-up
  • start quietly as a warming-up, then faster and faster
  • Coach lining up at the return to give various assignments.
  • There is one scapegoat without the ball and two players without the ball.
  • The ball is thrown over in a good position, who has the ball can be tapped without the ball.
  • The ball may be held for a maximum of ten seconds.
  • If the ticker has intercepted a ball, then that ball goes out of the game.
  • Are you tapped you go to the side when no 2 comes on the side does no 1 again.


2 rows, 1 ball per team

  • Player scores, rebounds own ball, and passes to next player in line
  • Player who scored runs to the other baseline to retrieve a pawn and brings it back to the group. Can also be done with the volleyball scoreboard (keeping track of points, best of 5)
  • Group with most pawns at the end wins
  • Two players with one ball.
  • Both players have the ball in their hands and start pulling hard to get the ball loose from the other.
  • Best of 3 loser 5 push-ups.
  • Two lines,
    • one a meter behind mid-court,
    • other behind circle on defense side.
  • Two balls in middle
  • Two hard dribbles, jump stop, pass for layup.
  • 4 things you can do after passing:
    • Ball-screen.
    • Screen away.
    • Cut to the basket (example: give and go, or back-cut). Back cut if the defender is denying the pass.
    • V-cut and pop back outside for the return pass and outside shot.
  • Rules without the ball:
    • If you have an under-play (defender sagging off), pop out to spread the defense.
    • If you have an overplay (being denied), backcut.
    • Someone dribbling at you, backcut (except for the weave plays).
    • Fill the open spot when a teammate cuts inside.
    • When someone dribble-penetrates, relocate.
    • Screen away, and pop out.
    • The most important rule is to keep moving.


3 players, 2 balls

  • 2 shoot, 1 goes out, rebound, and pass
  • Same, but now go to your strength, and shoot
  • Same but now go to your cross


Attention:

  • Call names, call for ball => don't pass if they don't call your name
  • Be ready! Tripple threat
  • Step into the shot
  • Game speed, over exagerate
  • Everyone a ball, line up in a large circle.
  • Trainer shows the exercise, players follow:
    • Spread out, rolling the ball in an 8-shape between the legs
    • Roll the ball around your waist, head legs (change direction)
    • Dribble with left, right, change hands.
    • Dribble with the whole group (rhythm exercise, all in rhythm!)
    • Dribble between your legs
    • Dribble behind your back
    • Shot movement upwards (extend arm, point, catch)
    • Spreading stance (move the ball in an 8-shape without touching the ground)
    • Ball above your head, passing with fingertips from left to right


  • Players stand in a circle (max 5) and in the middle 1 pylon with a small circle around it.
  • One defender who is not allowed to enter the small circle and has to defend the pylon
  • The players around must play together to hit the pylon
