• Begin with the classic weave to the other side of the court.
• Return and perform the weave up to the halfway line.
• The next three players are ready to start the weave and meet the current three players at the halfway line.
• A 3-on-3 situation arises in which a score must always be made.
• After a score, the newest three players start the weave and the next three meet them at the halfway line for a new 3-on-3 situation.

• Use two balls.
• Everyone stands in a line at the free throw line.
• The first player shoots and tries to score.
• If you miss, you must attempt to finish the play.
• The second player must score as quickly as possible.
• If the player behind you scores before you do, you are out.

• Form two lines: one on the baseline and one on the wing, diagonally across from each other.
• The first person in the group on the baseline does not have a ball. This player runs along the baseline and requests the ball from the wing.
• In one movement: jump stop and shoot, or jump stop, pivot towards the basket and shoot. Variation is possible.
• The player on the wing runs to the elbow of the key and requests the ball.
• In one movement: jump stop and shoot, or jump stop, pivot towards the basket and shoot.
• Retrieve your own rebound and move to the other line.

Introduction

• This drill is suitable as a warm-up (passing/finishing) and as a breakdown for a "scissor" play or "split the post". Start basic and expand as the team is ready.

Execution

• Start with two lines at two spots, for example, two guard positions. With a larger team, work on two baskets with a minimum of 4-6 players per basket.
• Player #1 makes a preliminary move and cuts tightly over the cone or chair. Player #4 passes to the cutting player #1 and then cuts in the same way.
• Rotation: Each player retrieves their own ball and joins the line where they received the ball.

Variations

• Vary with speed; first master the technique of cutting.
• Receive the ball and shoot; pop-out when the defender goes underneath.
• Train aggression with a blocking pad; disrupt players' balance when cutting.
• After cutting, offer at the low post and finish with a post move.
• Work with a high-post player for passing and hand-off/hi-lo options.
• Eventually add defenders.

Teaching Points

• Set up and push off the defender on the outside foot.
• Cut aggressively, closely over the cone.
• Communication in passing: eye contact, asking for the ball with the lead hand.
• Finish with the left hand from the left side, and vice versa for the right.

• Three players start on the baseline.
• A fourth player stands around the free throw line and throws the ball towards the hoop.

• The three players rebound for themselves and try to score the ball in the basket.
• A score earns one point, but rebounding the ball again after scoring also earns a point.
• The first player to reach five points swaps with the player throwing the ball towards the hoop.
• Physical contact is allowed.

• At cones A: quick foot exercises
• At cones B: lateral movements
• Between the cones: sprinting

• Players divide themselves over two baskets.
• Each player takes two free throws consecutively.
• After the free throws, regardless of whether they score or miss, the player sprints up and down the entire court.
• It is important that they accelerate well and give 100% effort.
• After the sprint, they return to the free throw line and take two more free throws.

• Players build their conditioning and simulate a game situation where they must also rest during their free throws.

• Four players are involved in this exercise.
• The player with the ball starts at the top of the key and drives the ball into the paint.
• Then, he passes the ball to a teammate on the baseline.
• A flair screen is set on the weak side.
• The player with the ball then drives along the baseline.
• Finally, the ball is passed out to the corner for a shot.

Objective

• Perform all exercises demonstrated by the trainer.

Assignment

• The players stand in a semicircle so everyone can see the trainer.
• The trainer demonstrates several exercises.
• The players imitate him or her.

Execution

• Stand with legs apart.
• Roll the ball between the legs in a figure 8 pattern.
• Rotate the ball around your waist, legs, and head.
• Occasionally change direction.
• Bounce the ball on the ground with both hands and catch it again with both hands.
• Throw the ball into the air with both hands and catch it again with both hands.
• Who can clap first before catching the ball?
• Stand with legs apart.
• Move the ball in a figure 8 pattern between the legs without letting it fall to the ground.

• Players start with lay-ups on the left side.
• The number of players determines how many successful shots are needed.
• Begin with a warm-up run.
• After warming up, make 30 successful lay-ups.

• After the 30 lay-ups, players immediately proceed to 20 jump shots.
• These shots are taken from mid-range.
• Upon completion, switch sides.
• On the new side, start with another warm-up.
• Again, make 30 successful lay-ups and 20 jump shots.

• Depending on the number of players present.

• Start with a match without dribbling.
• Choose between a half or full court.
• Continue with a match where dribbling is allowed.

• Everyone has a ball.
• Everyone dribbles within a designated zone.
• If your ball is knocked away, you must retrieve it and score at the other basket.
• After scoring, you may return to the zone to participate again.
