Basketballexercises for u15

• 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.

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