Basketball drills for

  • The group stands on one side behind these hoops.
  • When told to do so, the children steal objects from the other side and place them in the hoops on their own side.
  • If they are caught by a ticker, they have to put the object back.
  • The group is lined up in the four corners of the field.
  • A ticker with a party ribbon
  • At a signal they cross the field in three directions:
  • the short side, the long side or diagonally.
  • On their return, they score one, two or three points respectively.
  • A ticker operates in the room and forces the ticked children to go back to his corner before he can cross again.
  • How many points can you get in an agreed time?
  • 5 men start at the center line.
  • 1 makes lay up becomes defence
  • 2 taps the cone and also defends
  • 3 rebounds and throws in
  • 4-5 hit baseline and ask to play ball for 3-2
  • baseline start.
  • 1 man dribble attack
  • 1 man footwork defense
  • from the halfway line 1-1

Wave for U12:

  • Three teams, 1 ball: pass and cross behind the player.
  • Do this slowly at first, U12 kids find this a difficult exercise. Focus on passing and running. Start together (half field lengthwise) and build up when it goes well.
  • Depending on the size of the group, divide the field.


Variant for when it goes well:

  • Finish with score and play 2x1 (the one who scores will defend),
  • Pay attention to outlet pass (ask for the ball on the sideline).


For U12 first explain well which lines are used.
Standard killer with line touching, executing with ball and different commands.

  • Slowly build up speed as a warming up,
  • Possibly let a player determine what the assignments are.
  • Do take a rest now and then.


Tasks:

  • Left to go, right back
  • Left/right (cross)
  • Backwards (2 times left, 2 times right)
  • Put the ball down (under ball back, pick up ball back and next line)
  • With press-ups (2x on the line), jumping, abs ect.


Depending on the size of the group choose an area (bucket for max 6)

  • Everyone a ball, dribble and tap the ball away from other players.
  • Ball away means pushing into the centre circle and back again.
  • If necessary, make it difficult with a second dribble (keep the ball alive!)
  • Divide the players into groups and give each player a number (equal groups).
  • Each group in a corner of the field and balls in the centre circle.
  • When the coach says your number, you run to the centre circle, grab a ball and you get 2 attempts to score (max 2 x 1 point for your group).
  • Games to the 10 for example and losers push up.
  • To keep the speed up, have several numbers run at the same time.
  • Make 2 rows with 1 ball.
  • Player gives bounce/chest pass to other row and runs after the ball, and closes behind.
  • Extend:
    • Place a pylon around which the players have to walk (or 2 pylons).
    • Possibly instead of passing dribble with the ball (left and right)




drawing Passing/dribbling (warming up)
  • Player 1 dribbles while zigzagging between the pillars.
  • At the end you dribble back.
  • Back at the start, grab the ball and make a maximum of 2 passes.
  • During the last 2 passes, player 2 takes over the ball and dribbles the course.
  • Repeat for 1 minute
drawing zig-zag dribble and pass
  • 4 groups of players in each corner of the field.
  • 4 cones in the centre circle
  • 2 balls on each side line
  • 2 players start on 3 point line + 1 player with ball on top
  • Players 2 and 3 sprint to baseline and back.
  • Player 1 passes ball to player 2 or 3. Player 2 and 3 then play 1x1.
  • Variation :
    • In a second phase, passes can also be made to the player on top who then passes back.
