Basketball drills

• Player a does V-cut and gets ball from player b and stops in jump-stop.
• He pivots (front left) with his left leg to the basket and gets into triple treath position.
• After a fake shot, he leaves right-handed dribble, left leg big step past the cone to the basket for a lay-up.
• Player c takes the rebound and goes to the other side for a shot at 45 degrees, after which he connects with the passers.

Prerequisites:

• Knowing defensive stance / attacking principle of in-out.

Organization:

• Coach gives pass on spot one (only attack after four passes/four swings)
• Attacker at spot two and three
• In/out move
• First part of the exercise 1vs1; second part 2vs2
• Passing on: offense becomes defense, defense connects and steps in as offense afterwards (stay on same side)

Goal:

• Teach correct defensive position (denial + help defense)

Teaching points:

• Quickly change position when the ball changes sides, read defenses as attackers (backdoor)
• In/out to the bucket, when defending short, get out to 1m outside 3pt line and use backdoor option, jump to the ball as defender

• From the middle line 1-1.
• Defender has a limited area (pylons) in which he can defend.
• Attacker finishes with free lay-up (must go in or push up).

Prerequisites:

• Bit of game insight at fill the spot, be able to apply defensive stance (denail - helpside)

Goal:

• Offence: quickly see where there is an empty spot and cut through after a pass, defence: adjust stance depending on how the ball moves

Organisation

• Four players (U10) on a spot with defence, empty spot under the ring.
• Offence: Pass the ball around and make a quick cutting move towards the empty spot below the ring, other attackers move up and the empty spot is filled in by the cutting attacker.
• Defence: adjust position according to the ball. (hands on the ball, denail, weakside help on the line ring-ring)
• Five passes (calmly), then 4vs4
• Passing on: offence becomes defence, defence steps out and then becomes offence.

Teaching points

• Offence: good pass - in/out to deep bucket and high exit - jump-to-the-ball - placement of feet - attention to running faults
• Defence: anticipate the ball - check correct posture per spot before passing.

• One row on the baseline/corner and one row in the center circle with ball.
• Pass to the corner and then run to the same corner and get the ball back at the post.
• Then there are a number of possibilities such as open-step or crossover and 1 vs 0 to the basket.
• Adjuster takes care of the rebound.

Triplets with a ball.

• Trainer throws ball against the board, team must rebound and choose outlet.
• Trainer blocks off one side so they have to pick and ask for the ball!
• Outlet dribbles to the middle and 3X0 completes with a layup (pace.)

• Depending on the level of the U12 explain: outlet, ask for the ball (hands), fill in lines and run attack.
• Trainer can be disruptive at the 2x1, pay attention to left and right handed dribbling.

• The players start from one side of the ring with a zig-zag stepslide to the centre line.
• From the cone at the half way line, they sprint to the goal, receive the pass and finish with a lay-up.
• After the lay-up the players take their own rebound and take the place of the passer.
