Basketball drills for technique condition

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!)

Triplets with a ball.

• Trainer throws ball against the board, team must rebound and choose outlet.
• Trainer blocks off one side so they have to pick and ask for the ball!
• Outlet dribbles to the middle and 3X0 completes with a layup (pace.)

• Depending on the level of the U12 explain: outlet, ask for the ball (hands), fill in lines and run attack.
• Trainer can be disruptive at the 2x1, pay attention to left and right handed dribbling.

• 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)

• 1 man attack - 1 man defend
• 3 to 5 gates, centre gate 4 points, inner gates 2 points, outer gate 1 point, failed 0 points
• 2 x 3 attempts, most points wins

• 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

• 4 groups of players in each corner of the field.
