Basketball drills

Two pairs sit down and stand up at the same time, with their backs against each other.

• 2 groups of players stand behind each other,
• back player lifts leg of player in front of him.
• the player in front of him goes through the knees with the other leg.

Two persons face to face in a lying position. They push themselves up and give each other a hand slap (see photo)

• Pairs run from baseline to baseline on the right side of the field,
• meanwhile chest pass back and forth,
• distance between them is approx. 3 metres.
• Return on the left side, but then with bounce-pass.

Line to line

• Right, left, skipping, handball, one-legged handball
• Stay behind the trainer, sprint

Attack

• Crossover with hesitation, fake crossover
• Between the legs
• Behind the back
• Combo, e.g. between the legs and behind the back

Defence

• Cap steps, sprint
• Slides
• Cap steps, slides at each line

• 3 lines a few meters apart.
• Each line has a name (apple pear or banana).
• The children start on a line.
• Trainer calls out a fruit and the children must run to that line as fast as they can.

Line up the children in two lines, encourage strong passes, whoever has 25 passes first sits on the ground.

We start with fake a pass, make a pass and pivot push pass, we do this without game form.

• Chest pass
• Bounce
• Push (left, right)
• Overhead

Line up at the free throw line and try to out-maneuver each other

• Dribbling with two balls
  • including three progressions
  • and one regression

Prerequisites:

players on the dribble can defend Â- and can make a pass the length of the field

Objective:

to practice defending the backfield in the arrowpress Â- to anticipate the pass and always make sure you are in a position to intercept it

Organisation:

• 4 takes the ball and then does not take part in the game anymore, but counts down the seconds
• defender 5 applies maximum pressure on the dribbler
• the defenders can defend all over the field
• attacker 1 may only act on the defensive half Â- attackers 2 and 3 only on the offensive half
• after a stop or score, defender 5 takes the ball back for the next round
• if the attackers score within 10 seconds they have a point Â- if not, it is a point for the defenders Â- the attacker calls if there is a foul on him. Point for the attack.
• play 5 times in a row with the same defenders
• 3 new attackers each time.
• If the defenders make less than 2 stops, they must run.
• when there are 2 or more stops, all attackers must run.

Teaching points:

defend the dribbler on your feet - he may not pass you under any circumstances Â- arms wide to make a pass difficult Â- defender 6 must anticipate the long pass to intercept it Â- must position himself so that he can see the ball AND both other attackers as much as possible (split vision) Â- always adjust his position on the field to intercept the most likely pass Â- if he has not been able to intercept the long pass, Â- He must NOT allow a lay up Â- Defender 5 must then sprint full speed towards the free attacker on the weak side.

Variations:

In the beginning, you may have to limit the space for attackers 2 and 3. Use existing lines on the floor, or place pawns on the sidelines on the attacking half.

• The player gets the ball thrown to you
• Do a crossover and shoot the ball at the first position
• Do the same at the second position
• And so on

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.
