Basketball drills for technique condition

• The children walk in pairs through the room.
• One child tries to follow the other.
• Variation
• The child in front has to change pace suddenly.
• The child in front has to change direction sharply.
• Groups of four or five children.
• Groups of four or five children and on signal the back one sprints to the front and then indicates the track.

• The entire group is lined up behind a line on the side of the field.
• On signal they walk over to the other side.
• Variation Starting Positions:
  • Squat,
  • knee,
  • prone or supine,
  • sit with the back to the walking direction.

• The group is lined up on the short side of the field in a few relays.
• On a sign, they all walk to the other side at the same time and sit back to back in a random order.
• Which group sits first?
• Variation
• Varying the starting and finishing poses.
• At the other side touch a line, return and sit in a row again.

• From the group, a scapegoat is appointed.
• The game is played all over the field.
• The group is lined up on one side of the field.
• On sign the children cross the field.
• One of the catchers tries to catch as many children crossing the road as possible.
• Variation
• The children walk to and fro on a signal.
• Back and forth without waiting for a signal.
• The children are not free on the other side.
• With two tappers.
• With boxes where there is one ticker in each box.
• The children can be tagged in every cell.
• Who has not been tagged on the way out and on the way back?
• Or which group of tickers has managed to tick the most children?

• 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).

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)
