Mtm offense

Jump back:

• pick up the ball and shoot
  
  

Jump back and drive:

• Attack the elbow
• Jump back and drive: attack the elbow, push off under the elbow onto your front foot and jump backwards
• do not pick up the ball, but change hands and attack the basket at the weak side
  
  

1 on 1

• the passer is now slightly deeper
• As soon as he has passed to the forward, he starts defending
• the attacker applies the different techniques he practised before
  
  

Rotation:

the pair that has finished the 1v1 move together to the centre line and swap roles OR the loser defends.

Variations:

• left and right
• place the passer in the corner or on the block
• different techniques of finishing under the board
• adding a help defender to the weak side, so that the attacker also learns what (im)possibilities are there.

• Player 1 sets up under the board with a ball.
• Player 1 jumps 3 times and taps the board with the ball after which he finishes.
• Player 2 takes the rebound and passes to player 3.
• At the same time player 1 runs to player 3 where he pulls the ball out of his hands -giving resistance- and immediately goes to the hoop to score.
• He takes his own rebound and repeats the exercise.

• Guard with ball
• 2 players on the three-point line -1 offense, 1 defense-.
• Player tries to get free

• Throwing the ball against the board
• Rebound
• Transition

• 2 teams, both behind the baseline.
• One group has a ball.
• On the go signal, one player from each team leaves for the cone in front of them.
• The player with ball tries to make a layup and the player without ball tries to prevent it.

• Starting position:
  • 1 attacker
  • 1 defender
  • 1 passer with ball
  • Other players stand behind the passer
• Progression:
  • Attacker must run free to receive the pass
  • Once the pass is given, they play 1 on 1
  • Stay on a quarter court
• Progression:
  • Put the better players together
  • Maximum of 5 dribbles
• Regression:
  • Pass may be returned to the passer

• Blue stands behind the free throw line.
• Red stands with his back to blue with the ball.
• On the starting signal, blue sprints to the baseline and sprints back to defend
• Red sprints to the center line and back to attack.
• Always score.

• The attacker is given very little space to maneuver past the defender
• The attacker is not allowed to look at the ball
• The attacker accelerates
• The defender starts working on his footwork
• Once past the hats, the field is wider and scoring is possible
• Always score
• Variation: the defender stands in the middle of the narrowed field and the attacker starts further back so you get a more game-like situation

• Four players stand in defensive position.
• Coach throws the ball against the board.
• Player 4 takes the rebound and passes the ball to player 2.
• Player 2 receiving the ball:
  • Receives the ball and watches.
  • Dribbles into the lane just off the center circle.
• Player 1 on the ball side:
  • Sprints into the lane next to the sideline and looks over his inside shoulder to stay within passing range.
  • Is first option in the start of the fastbreak.
• Player 3 on the non-ball side:
  • Sprints down the lane next to the center circle and looks over inside shoulder to stay within passing range.
  • Does not go through the center circle if he/she cannot go to score.
• Player 4 may go take the rebound.

• Starting lineup:
  • 2 groups baseline side by side
  • 1 group has a ball
• Progression:
  • Playing 1 against 1
  • Until the center line, defense step slide passively
  • After the center line plays 1 against 1
• Progression:
  • Active defense during step slide
  • Extra defender under goal
• Regression:
  • Passive defense

• Divide the group in half.
• Same exercise on both sides of the field:

1. Lay-up L&R
2. Jump stop - crossover
3. Zigzag and speed change

• Starting lineup:
  • 2 groups at the level of the free throw line
  • 2 players top of the bucket
• Conduct:
  • Coach throws ball -or collide or roll-.
  • 2 players fight for the ball and play 1-on-1
  • Defense must be between ball and goal
• Progression:
