drawing Warming up
Players will stand offense and defense, facing each other on the three-point line.
  • Then an alternating 1 vs 1 situation is started.
  • Offense is going to provoke the defense through jab steps, pump fakes and other feints.
  • Only when the defender steps on the wrong leg, steps up from his defense before the shot or when there is no reaction, a shot may be fired/passed to score.
The goal of the exercise is to read your defense better and not to lose your triple threat by dribbling immediately.
drawing 1 vs 1 (challenging defender)
  • Everyone gets a ball and a pawn.
  • Distribute among the pawns.
  • Dribble with the bad hand.
1. Push/Pull dribble over the pawn
2. Pocket Pull
3. V dribbles
4. In and out turn dribbles

All this to improve the dribble. Strong hand is next. At the strong hand make sure they have eyes up immediately.



  • Players start with left layups.
  • The number of players present determines how many balls are hit.
  • First they warm up and then after some time 30 balls are hit.
  • After the 30 layups are hit, they go directly to 20 jump shots hit. These shots are shot from mid-range.
  • When this is done, they change sides.
  • First they warm up again and then they hit the 30-20 balls again.
