Basketball drills
- Depends on the number of balls.
- In pairs or alone
- When alone:
- Start at your position, dribble across the basket.
- Set or Jumpshot from your position (Guard, forward, center).
- Up to 8 points.
- In pairs:
- Start at your position, pass to the opposite side of the basket.
- Last pass should be good so that shooter in jumpshot is ready for his/her shot.
- Up to 4 points per player.
- Losers: Slides over the width of the pitch, 1x back and forth.
- 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)
- 2 groups at the level of the free throw line.
- Left side passes to players coming from the right side cut in.
- Option 1: lay-up.
- Option 2: shot in front of the hoop.
- X number of shots in succession.
- Left and right sides.
- Own rebound and pass.
- 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.
- Prior to the exercise, we first stretch and run a suicide.
- The ball is in the middle.
- Two persons run backwards on the starting signal to the back line, then first to get hold of the ball on the middle line.
- A 1-on-1 situation then arises here in which the person with the ball attacks and the other must defend.
- 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.
