Basketball drills for technique condition

1 line with 3 balls

- small field outside, players make a lay-up back and forth and pass to the next one in line.

- If you miss, you have to do it again (build up slowly first).

- Variant: for example 5 dribbles --> they have to make speed

Line up with space around you

- Trainer in front of the group gives instructions with ball in hand

- Ball left or right --> slide to the left or right

- Ball above head --> Jump

- Ball in front of you with arms extended --> situps

- Ball on stomach --> tapping

- Ball on the ground --> push-ups

- Ball around waist --> burpee's

Setup

  • All players scattered around the room (circle the trainer)


Performance

  • Jumping rope: 
    • 2 minutes of normal (forward).
  • Mountain climbers: 
    • 15 seconds.
  • Skipping rope: 
    • 2 minutes alternating: 
    • left front, right back/right front, left back.
  • Mountainclimbers: 
    • 30 seconds.
  • Skipping rope: 
    • 2 minutes alternating: 
    • left leg, right leg.
  • Mountain climbers: 
    • 45 seconds.






  • 1 or 2 rows just below the board on either side of the basket. 
  • Make sure there are at least 4 players per row.
  • Ball is thrown against the board next to the basket and "tipped" into the tide by the next player (catch it two hands and throw it back to the board immediately). 
  • The third player catches this ball again, etcetera. 
  • After the action, a player closes behind the (other) row. 
  • The exercise is finished when a minimum number of successful tips in a row have been achieved (without the ball touching the ground).
  • Variation:
    • Players must pass behind the coach before they may rejoin the (other) row. 
    • The coach walks backwards slowly, which means they have to run harder. (This is a must with rows of 6 or more players).
    • The ball must be both caught and thrown again during 1 jump. (is quite difficult for smaller or weaker players)
    • Advice: 
      • This can also involve deducting 1 point in the event of a failed tip instead of starting again at zero.



  • Players divide into 2 groups at the sideline.
  • Group in runs 1 length back and forth from sideline to sideline.
  • When everyone in the group is back the other group runs.
  • Then 2 times then 3 times then 4 times. 
  • Then reduce back to 1 time.
  • Two or three teams. (teams)
  • Per pair or trio 1 ball.
  • 1 shooter, 1 (or 2) rebounder(s).
  • Shooter shoots (from free throw line, or lower position), then sprints to centre line.
  • Rebounder catches ball, passes ball to shooter. (Good jump stop, correct distance, call for ball).
  • Shooter 5 scores in total, then new shooter.
  • Team of which first all shooters have scored 5 times, wins!
With 3 men on the back line and the middle having the ball
  • The middle passes to a man
  • Runs after the ball.
  • Who passes to the man on the other side
  • Also runs after the ball.
  • They do this while running to the basket on the other side.
  • When someone is close enough to the basket, the man runs a lay-up.
NOTE: no ball on the ground, so the other must rebound (even when scoring)!
Everyone in the trio must have scored once.
If that takes more than 6 attempts, then they all have to do 10 pushups
