Basketball drills for

  • Line up the kids in two lines,
  • encourage powerful passes,
  • Whoever gets 25 passes first sits on the ground.
    • Powerful passes, both chest and bounce.
  • Pairs run from baseline to baseline on the right side of the field,
  • meanwhile chest pass back and forth,
  • distance between them is approx. 3 metres.
  • Return on the left side, but then with bounce-pass.

Line up the children in two lines, encourage strong passes, whoever has 25 passes first sits on the ground.

We start with fake a pass, make a pass and pivot push pass, we do this without game form.

  • Chest pass
  • Bounce
  • Push (left, right)
  • Overhead

2-ball-pass-2-man-shot-basketball-drill-1Player 1 has 2 balls and dribbles to the pawn with both balls.

Player 2 cuts from the corner to the wing.

Player 1 makes a 1 hand push pass to player 2 on the wing.

With the other ball player 1 makes a cross over and shoots the ball.

Player 2 makes a jump shot.

The players practice with the overhead pass (with 2 hands, from above the head) and vary with distance players stand in a circle with 1 player in the middle.

  • One player starts and throws the ball with a chest pass to the player in the middle.
  • Then the first player runs after the ball to the middle.
  • The player in the middle throws the ball to the next player in the circle and then runs after them etc.


The players stand in a circle and pass the ball to each other.

  • They are free to choose who they throw to and which pass variant they use.
  • To make the exercise more difficult more basketballs can be used.

Create a rectangular fieldTwo
teams: attackers / defenders

Players may only tap by pressing the ball on their backs

Learning point: quick passes move after your pass tight passes and quick passes



  • wave-8
    With 3 men on the back line and the middle one has the ball
  • The middle passes to a man and runs after the ball
  • The man in the middle passes to the man on the other side, who also runs after the ball.
  • They do this while running to the basket on the other side.
  • When someone is close enough to the basket, the man runs a lay-up.
  • He becomes the defender and the other two attackers must try to reach each other with a long ball.
  • The goal of the defender is to prevent the attackers from scoring.
  • If the attackers do not manage to score, they must do 5 push-ups.

wave-8


Objective:

Try to score 5 times with your group as quickly as possible.

Task:

Divide the players into 2, 3 or 4 groups so that there are max. 6 of them in a group. Give each player in each group a number from 1 to 6. Each group sits in a corner of the terrain. In the middle there are 2, 3 or 4 basketballs in hoops.

When the coach says a number, the players with that number sprint to the middle as fast as they can, take a basketball and dribble to goal. They get only 1 attempt to score. After their goal attempt, they put the balls back in the middle and rejoin their group. The first group with 5 scores wins the game.

Variations/ gradations

Make scoring easier by attaching a hoop to the ring where players can also score. A score through the hoop is then worth double points.

  • Guards + Forwards + Centers
  • from U14 - 6 to 12 players
  • 4 balls
  • whole field
  • 2 baskets

Two players throw the ball to each other, the ball may bounce. To make it more difficult the bouncing can be omitted. Also vary the distance.

The players stand in a circle and throw the ball to each other. They are not allowed to touch the ground. Try this with a player in the middle who is trying to intercept. If the ball is intercepted, the player who threw the ball stands in the middle.

There are rows of players on both sidelines.

  • The front player of each row has a basketball.
  • These players dribble to the sideline on the other side and play the ball with a bounce pass to the second player in the row who is now automatically in front.
  • The first player closes in behind and the second player now dribbles across.


The players practice with the overhead pass (with 2 hands, from above the head) and vary the distance players stand in a circle with 1 player in the middle.

  • One player starts and throws the ball with a chest pass to the player in the middle.
  • Then the first player runs after the ball to the middle.
  • The player in the middle throws the ball to the next player in the circle and then runs after them etc.
