Basketball drills
- You make 2 teams divided over 2 baskets.
- Dribble around the post and pick a side.
- Run a lay-up.
- The first to reach the proposed number of scores wins.
- The losing team must run to the back line and back. (start on the back line and run to the back line)
- Players line up in 2 groups on the same side of the field (sideline).
- Everyone except the first two in line have a ball.
- The players without ball run to the opposite side of the field. (top of key)
- The first player with the ball dribbles to the 3 point line on the side where he is standing and passes the ball to the incoming player at the top.
- When he takes the ball. (Swing the ball, fake, crossover, drive and finish with lay-up.)
- The player who passed the ball runs to the other side of the court where his drill begins.
- On one side L and other side R lay-up.
- Player sprints from the corner baseline to the first post.
- At the first post a drop step and slides towards the second post.
- From the second post, backward defensive footwork to the third post.
- At the third pole a dropstep followed by slides to the fourth pole.
- You do this until you are back at the starting point.
- 5 x 2 free throws.
- 2 groups side by side.
- Each takes turns shooting.
- Count how many in.
- 2 misses = length of run.
- 1 miss = half length run.
- 4 Players on the baseline.
- Player B has ball and dribbles to the cone.
- B passes to player C.
- B and C go to goal.
- Player A and D sprint around the cone and start defending.
- 3 teams of 3 players
- 3 players in the middle
- Attacking
- Defense up to the center line, even after ball loss
This exercise sounds simple but it certainly is not:
- The idea is for the player with the ball to get past a 100% giving defender in 3 dribbles.
- The scoring player stays put, misses then goes out and the defender may attack against a new person.
- The goal is for the player to give everything during this exercise.
- Here the attacker is forced to be explosive and use his whole body.
- Player A shoots from 10 different positions, with Player B rebounding and passing tight passes to Player A.
- 10x shots are made from each position.
- Both players take their turn.
- You have about 20 minutes to have both shot, if this is not the case there is a suicide.
- The goal of this exercise is to focus purely on your form.
At the end of the exercise you are asked which of the two has scored the most.
The losing player runs a suicide, should the score be forgotten, both players run a suicide.
The losing player runs a suicide, should the score be forgotten, both players run a suicide.
- 3 groups; wing left, wing right, top
- 1 ball per group
- Shooting, own rebound
- Advance clockwise
- Setup:
- 2 groups
- At the level of the free throw line
- First a v-cut, then get ball
- Pivoting and shooting
- Own rebound
- Connecting on the other side
- Be careful to pivot on the right foot
- Passing with right or left hand, depending on side
- 20 scores
- Variations:
- Pivot and dribble to goal, lay-up
- Drive straight at goal
- Pivot and dribble to goal, jump stop
- 3 against 2 with passing every time.
- Help each other in defense when someone is free.
- The attackers learn to use a man advantage and to finish.
- Speed, precision, good passing and team play are necessary here.
- The players line up in two groups on the sideline near the halfway line.
- The first 2 players of the red group line up on one side of the field and have the ball.
- One player of the blue team lines up on the other side.
- As soon as the attacking team crosses the centre line, the 2nd player of the blue team runs around the cone in the centre circle and starts defending.
- Attacking players try to score before the 2nd player gets there.
