Basketballexercises for technique attack / offense

Requirements:
players must be able to dribble a layup run

Objective:
to increase attacking ability in 1 against 1

Organization:

• player 1 receives the ball from 3
• 3 moves backwards
• 1 unbalances 3, passes and goes hard to the basket
• the defender's task is to stop the dribble
• loser continues to defend on the same side
• winner attacks on the other side

Teaching Points:

• attacker must aggressively close the distance
• dribble straight at the defender
• throw the defender off balance
• attacker must be unpredictable
• choose which side to pass on at the last moment
• Use feints in the dribble
• After passing, go full speed towards the basket
• play with guts
• If you cannot, regain your balance and try another technique, e.g. backup dribble + jump shot.

• Get ready for the free throw with rebounders. 
  • 1 person shoots the free throw
• Rebounders try to catch the ball:
• Attack gets the ball trying to score on the same basket
• Defense catches the ball, tries to score on the opposite basket
• If a bucket is made, the scoring team may take a free throw.

• Two teams
  • 1 team will slide into the bucket, everyone has a number (front to back)
  • Other team is going to stand at the 3 point line
• I pass the ball to someone and then everyone in the bucket will box out someone from outside the bucket. 
• Pay attention: 
  • Agree who defends whom.
  • If you box out, make contact first and then turn open
• If the defending team has caught the ball, it can start attacking
• Each score one point, team that has 3 points first.

• Purpose:
  • Reaction speed and 1 against 1 
• Assignment:
  • Divide the players into pairs and give them one number per pair. 
  • When the trainer says a number, the players with that number sprint to the center as fast as possible, grab the basketball and dribble to basket for 1 to 1.
  • They get only 1 attempt to score. After their goal attempt, the ball goes back to the trainer. 
• You can also call several numbers at once for 2 against 2, 3 against 3 etc.

• 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

• Starting 2 player on baseline
• Spurts to the cone and do step slide to next cone
• The first player to take the ball does speed dribble to the other side to score. 
• The other player becomes defender

Requirements

• Basket insight into positional play, knowledge of feint movements

Target

• learn to move in attack and fill the free spot

Organisation

• 5 spots
• 1 player / spot (U10 4 players, U12 5 players)
  • Position 1 passes to position 2, 
  • Feint and cut through towards the basket. 
  • Meanwhile position 3 takes the place of position 1 and position 5 takes the place of position 3. 
  • Cutting player takes place of position 5 (= spot released). 
  • Perform automatically 5 passes and then score via lay-up or jump-shot.

Teaching Points

• Good chest/bounce pass, 
• Quick cut with feint (angular), 
• Open spot fill up, 
• Get ball = in shooting position watch basket first before passing.

Set up 3x3. Ball in the middle, no dribbles. 

• Player with ball must pivot and protect ball. 
• Players without ball must run free, 
• Defenders splitvision to intercept the ball
• Pay attention to a good fit

• Set up players: 
  • 1 with ball on the head (pos 1/white), 
  • 1 in position 2 or 3 (blue), 
  • The rest on 4 or 5 (same side as the forward, red). 
  • A defender or pilon somewhere around the free throw line or closer to 1 (is the defender of 1)
• White passes to blue and immediately makes a cutting movement. 
  • Feint to the left and cut across the defender
• Blue passes the ball to white in its movement and takes position 1. 
  • First of red fills in the position of blue.
• White scores with the ball and the ball goes back to the new player in position 1. 
  • White follows red and becomes the last player in the red row.
• The exercise starts again.

Requirements:

Players must be able to perform a layout from a bounce pass

Aim:

Learn how to create forward scoring opportunities for yourself

Organization:

4 players / quarter field, other players wait in center circle. Move over: offence becomes defence, defence goes out + new offence

The helpline is out: you can play with two groups of four on a basket and force the players not to use the space where the help is in the game.

(first perform the exercise several times without defense)

• guard dribbles up from the center circle
• at the same time, 2 makes a V-cut
• if 2 gets free, pass and 1 v 1
• if defender overshoots 4, then continue the V-cut to at least a meter
• above the three-point line and sprint backwards for the backdoor pass 
• and play 1 v 1
• All score out of:
  • backdoor
  • 1 v 1 from the wing

Mtm offense

• If you don't manage to pass to 2, 2 will sprint to the centre circle and get the pass of 1. 
• The cycle then starts again from the front, but now with 1 at the forward position.

Teaching Points:

• if you can see your defender's shoulder in the pass line at the V-cut, then there is overplay.
• and you have to take the defender up to at least a metre above the three-point line towards the sideline
• sprint at full speed as you go backdoor
• the backdoor pass is mostly one-handed, from the dribble with a flat bounce

• Two rows on the side at the height of the center line. 
• Ball is on one side, attacker decides when he leaves and runs to the middle line, which he must cross all the way. 
• The defender also departs but only has to touch the centre circle. 
• Aim of the exercise is to come in front of the attacker as a defender. 
• When a goal is made, 3 push-ups for the defender, a miss is 3 push-ups for the attacker.

• With 3 men on the back line and the middle one has a ball.
• The middle one passes to a man and chases the ball.
• The receiver keeps the ball behind him and the one who passed first takes the ball and passes on.
• The person who has the ball behind his back runs behind the ball, picks it up at the receiver and passes on to the other side.
• They do this while running to the basket on the other side.
• If someone is close enough to the basket, the man plays a lay-up.
• Make variations on the passing lines
