Basketball drills

  • 1 player represents 4 other players
  • 1 player passes the ball and passes it to the freeman
  • If the pass departs from the fixed pass, the other ball may leave for the fixed pass
drawing Warming up passing drill
  • 2 attackers on the wing position and 1 defender under the basket
  • The attacker with the ball gives a signal the defender chooses either the person with the ball or the other
  • If he chooses the person with the ball, the attacker passes the ball to the free person.
  • If he chooses the person without the ball, the striker with the ball will go straight to the goal
  • Finish with a layup or shot
drawing Deciding when to go for the basket

Two rows on the centerline, 1 player in the corner on the baseline (the compass).

Starting with right layups:

  • Ball is at the proposal player in the right row.
  • First player in left row runs to the front
  • Player with the ball passes the ball to the player in the left row
  • Player in left row makes a jump stop
  • Player in right row touches sideline at freeworking line and makes a cut to the basket.
  • Player with the ball passes at the right time (other player asks for the ball) to another player
  • Player right row makes lay-up.
  • Player from left row catches the ball and passes to the player in the corner (ball may not hit the ground!).
  • Player in the corner passes ball to next player in the row
  • Receiver becomes player in the corner
drawing Lay-ups, two rows, passing and catching (no dribbling, no ball can touch the ground)

Everyone has a basketball and 1 tennis ball:

  • Dribble with the tennis ball (do not use basketball)
  • Dribble -> toss the tennis ball and catch it
  • Dribble -> drop tennis ball -> take back the tennis ball above your hand in a quick movement.
  • Dribble -> throw tennis ball up briefly -> take back the tennis ball with your upper hand in a fast movement.
  • Dribble -> drop tennis ball -> crossover dribble -> take back tennis ball above hand in a fast movement
  • Dribble -> throw up tennis ball -> crossover dribble -> catch tennis ball before it falls to the ground
  • Dribble -> throw up tennis ball against the wall -> catch tennis ball again

Without ball (3x)

  • Sprint & close-out
  • Step-slide
  • Back jogging

  • Concept
    • The defense focuses between man and target and pushes the attacker to his weak hand
  • Positioning
    • Ball - You - Basket : Ready - Point - Stick aimed at the weak hand
    • The heel toe position can best be compared to a closed position
  • Ready position, "Nose in Chest" on an attacker who has the ball, you have one foot in front, and the hand on the same side.
  • Point position, "Digging the Ball" when the attacker starts a dribble.
  • One hand on the ball and one hand next to the head to prevent the pass.
  • Stick position, "Mirror the Ball" when the attacker stops his dribble and picks up the ball.

everyone a ball, set up in large circle.
