Basketball drills for technique warming-up

Depending on the size of the group choose an area (bucket for max 6)

• Everyone a ball, dribble and tap the ball away from other players.
• Ball away means pushing into the centre circle and back again.
• If necessary, make it difficult with a second dribble (keep the ball alive!)

Triplets with a ball.

• Trainer throws ball against the board, team must rebound and choose outlet.
• Trainer blocks off one side so they have to pick and ask for the ball!
• Outlet dribbles to the middle and 3X0 completes with a layup (pace.)

• Depending on the level of the U12 explain: outlet, ask for the ball (hands), fill in lines and run attack.
• Trainer can be disruptive at the 2x1, pay attention to left and right handed dribbling.

Divide the group into pairs.

Passing to the other side:

• First 2-groups fit around the whole field.
• 3 meter distance, no running
• Variant: at the halfway line:
  • Player on the inside dribbles to the head of the bucket and passes to the player on the outside who scores with lay-up/shot.
• Player who has passed runs to the other sideline and receives outlet, passes back to the center line and again shot/layup
• Left and right side

Important that they do not run during the pass and that the players change (inside and outside).

Players start at the bottom of the ring in 2 lines.

1) On the right side of the ring, players make a zig-zag run with the ball, changing direction at each cone (cross, behind the back, through the legs and spin move).

• Once at the center line, the player dribbles with the left hand towards the cones #1 here you do a backup dribble and go with a cross-over past the cones and finish with a lay-up.

2) On the left side of the ring, players do a short/explosive zig-zag and sprint from the last pawn to the center line.

• Once at the center line, they dribble right-handed to cones #2, here they do a backup dribble and crossover past the cones and finish with lay-up.

• At cones #1 and #2 you can vary with crossover, behind the back, through the legs and spin move
• Finish with lay-up or short distance shot
  
  

• The players start from one side of the ring with a zig-zag stepslide to the centre line.
• From the cone at the half way line, they sprint to the goal, receive the pass and finish with a lay-up.
• After the lay-up the players take their own rebound and take the place of the passer.
• With enough players this exercise can also be done on a full court.

• Ball leaves the baseline
• pass to player on mid-line-sideline -> player follows ball and runs up the field
• player returns the pass and cuts through towards the ring
• the pass is given to the 2nd player on the half way line
• player gives the pass to the player that is cutting towards the ring
• finishing with a lay-up

• The player on the baseline runs to the wing position, gets the pass and turns towards the goal to look for a shot.
• The winger with the ball does 2 cross dribbles between the cones and then finishes with a lay-up or shot

• Everyone a ball, line up in a large circle.
• Trainer shows the exercise, players follow:
  • Spread out and roll the ball in an 8-shape between the legs.
  • Roll the ball around your waist, head legs (change direction)
  • Dribble with left, right, change hands.
  • let the whole group dribble at the same time (rhythm exercise, all in rhythm!)
  • dribble between your legs
  • dribble behind your back
  • Shot movement upwards (extend arm, point, catch)
  • Spread position (move the ball in an 8-shape without touching the ground)

• Warming-up for U16, where the focus is mainly on warming up in combination with a bit of ballhandling.

• finger tip over head for chest cupboard.
• around head, waist, knee
• make between legs
• release ball between legs and change hands to catch without impact.
• throw ball behind back over shoulder left right.
• 10x right dribble 10x left dribble. pushing hard on the ball and not looking at the ball.
• 2x right cross to left 2x left cross ... Don't look at ball
• Dribble an 8 through the legs and keep the ball low.
• Keep dribbling the ball behind your back.
• Dribble between the legs front and back

• 4 groups of players in each corner of the field.
• 4 cones in the centre circle
• 2 balls on each side line

• You slide over the back lines and over the middle line and sprint over the other lines.
• You run an eight twice and then a rest and that 3 times.
• You start in the corner
