Basketballexercises for u13

Start under basket, 2 players pass back and forth in the run to center line...at passage center line in man with ball the attacker and goes full dribble to basket. Other player is defender and has to get in front of the man and defend.

Prerequisites:

• to know the defensive position

Organization:

• coach gives pass to spot 1 (only attack after 4 passes/4 swings)
• attacker on spot 2 and 3
• in/out move
• first part of the exercise 1vs1; second part 2vs2
• shuffle through: offense becomes defense, defense connects and joins in as offense afterwards (stay on same side)

Goal:

• To teach the correct defensive position (denial + help defense)

Teaching points:

• Quickly change position when the ball changes sides, read defence as attacker (backdoor)
• In/out to the bucket, when defending short, get out to 1m outside 3pt line and use backdoor option, jump to the ball.

• 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.

• One row on the baseline/corner and one row in the center circle with ball.
• Pass to the corner and then run to the same corner and get the ball back at the post.
• Then there are a number of possibilities such as open-step or crossover and 1 vs 0 to the basket.
• Adjuster takes care of the rebound.

• Two players with one ball.
• Both players have the ball in their hands and start pulling hard to get the ball loose from the other.
• Best of 3 loser 5 push-ups.

• 4 things you can do after passing:
  • Ball-screen.
  • Screen away.
  • Cut to the basket (example: give and go, or back-cut). Back cut if the defender is denying the pass.
  • V-cut and pop back outside for the return pass and outside shot.
• Rules without the ball:
  • If you have an under-play (defender sagging off), pop out to spread the defense.
  • If you have an overplay (being denied), backcut.
  • Someone dribbling at you, backcut (except for the weave plays).
  • Fill the open spot when a teammate cuts inside.
  • When someone dribble-penetrates, relocate.
  • Screen away, and pop out.
  • The most important rule is to keep moving.
