Basketball drills for technique catching

• rebounder (1) passes to outlet (2) 
• and runs behind the outlet along the sideline to the other side to get the ball back for a layup.
• Outlet (2) passes to a man in center circle (3), 
• He then dribbles to approx. the 3-point line and plays a bounce pass to (1) for lay-up.
• (3) takes the rebound and is becomes (1) at the opposite site of the field
  • With 10 persons or more, include one (4) in the far corner. 
  • In that case, (3) passes to (4), which then gives a bounce pass to (1) 
  • and then grabs the rebound and becomes (1).

• Two rows at the three-point line, extended freethrow line. 
• 1 row with ball(s). Player row 1 makes quick cut through the bucket.
• Pass row 2 to player row 1. 
• Jump stop just past the ring. 
• About 1m of basket. Fakeshot. 
• Pivoting and reverse lay-up. 
• Turn pivot foot around defender. (Keep the defender in the back). 1 shot attempt. 
• On 2 baskets at the same time depending on the number of players.

• 1 row of players stands in the corner at the 3-point line without ball. (A)
• 1 row of players stands 1 meter outside the bucket and 1 meter below the free throwing line with ball. (B)
• A runs to edge of the bucket on baseline and blocks (fictional). (2 pilons)
• Cuts to head of the bucket, turns in with right foot, gets pass from B. B follows the pass.

• Defense. A takes shot/ lay-up...
• B moves to row A. Player A catches his own ball and connects in row B.
• Left and right, basic drill for pick & roll offense.
• Can be played with 2 baskets.

• Two men around the bucket for defense
• Three attackers:
• Attacker 1 passes the ball to attacker 2 
• All three attackers pass the ball around until one sees a gap and can get into the bucket
• He adjusts the ball and tries to score
• Up to 5 points, then switch roles and the attacker who has scored least stays in the attack.

Requirements:

• Stopping two feet together, pivoting, lay-up and jumpshot must be known

Aim:

• When passing, jump towards the ball with feet coming down correctly to start the next movement. (pivoting, start dribble)

Organization:

1. Coach gives passes from position 1, alternating left and right from under the basket. Give passes where jump-to-the-ball applies.

2. Player starts under the basket (2 groups of 5 to 6 players, of which two/group have a ball) ==> fast; explosive exercise.

3. Run to cone under the basket and quickly pushes himself away towards the cone at spot 2 or 3.

4. Makes movement from the cone to the ball to get the pass and perform a jump-to-the-ball.

5. After getting the ball pivot and attack towards the basket (first lay-up, then shot)

6. After finishing, change sides and pass the ball

Teaching points:

• Rapid explosive movement when running free
• correct ball acceptance (show hands) and foot placement
• pivoting and fast attacks without running errors

• Two rows at the centerline
• The first two have a ball - Right
• From the center line you dribble to the basket:
  • Layup (15x hit in a row, a player under the basket catches the ball and counts, play again if the player didn't count)
  • Shots from bucket (7 in a row)
• The player under the basket starts when the dribbler starts.
• Coach goes further and further back.

• Player A takes a shot at goal and player B catches.
• Player B takes a shot at goal and player A catches.
• For 1 minute and goals scored is the number of total points.

• Set-up. Two equal lines.
• The first player in each line DOES NOT have a basketball.
• The Activity - begins with the first player in line making a "V-Cut" at the baseline and pops back out to about 12 feet away from the basket and calls for the ball by showing ten fingers to player #2.
• Player #2 passes the ball to player #1.
• Player #1 shoots and gets his own rebound.
• Player #1 then goes to the back of the line giving his ball to #4.
• Since player#2 gave his ball to player #1, he now makes a V-cut to the baseline and the activity repeats itself.
• Coaching Points- Catch and square up to the basket.

• Passing - 50 Passes
• Set-up - Two equal teams out on the court.
• The Object - To make a total of 50 passes.
• Does not have to be consecutive.
• The Game - teams play keep away by passing the ball back and forth to team mates.
• No dribbling is allowed.
• First team to make a total of 50 passes wins.
