Basketballexercises for technique warming-up

  • Each player has a ball.
  • You place the 5 cones as shown on the drawing.
  • At each cone they make a change of direction.
    • Outside, between the first 2 cones. Here, they continue their change of direction all the time.
  • After the cones, there is the possibility to take a shot/ lay-up.
Note: make sure there are clear changes in direction, acceleration after each change/aggression.

drawing Ball movement
  • At cones A (fast feet)
  • At cones B (slides)
  • Between sprints

drawing Walk Man

  • Stand under the basket and score with the left side and with the right side.
  • Try to do lay-up move
  • 2 x2 (possibly 3 x 3)
  • Sitting (with all other rules)
  • On 1 leg (limping)
  • Divide groups over baskets,
  • 2 pylons on top of the bucket
  • Try to get equal numbers so we can have a game
  • Start low,
  • Run to the pylon,
  • Slides over free throw line,
  • Back to base,

Two rows on the center line, 1 player in the corner on the baseline.

  • Beginning with right layups:
    • Ball is with the proposal player in the right row.
    • First player in left row runs to the forward.
    • Player with ball passes ball to player in left row.
    • Player in left row makes a jump stop.
    • Player in right row touches sideline at free throw line and makes a cut to the basket.
    • Player with ball passes to other player at correct time (other player asks for ball).
    • Player right row makes layup. (Pay attention to correct two-count rhythm)
    • Player in left row catches the ball (active rebound!) and passes to the player in the corner. (no ball on the ground!)
    • Player in the corner passes ball to next player in line.
    • Catcher becomes player in the corner.
    • 15 scores.
  • Next:
    • left layups - 15 scores --> pay attention to correct two-count rhythm, otherwise score does not count!
  • Points of Attention:
    • Pay attention to correct two-count rhythm.
    • Pay attention to correct hand. (left lay-up with left hand)
    • Make sure that tight passes are made, in front of the man (so that the receiving player does not have to slow down in her movement to the basket).




drawing WarmingUp - Lay-ups, two rows, with passing and catching
  • Start with three on the baseline.
  • You run from cone to cone until the coach throws the ball against the board.
  • Nearest player takes the rebound, highest player runs away, middle player is guard. 
  • Forward runs to three-point line other side and then runs sideline - towards the ball and receives the ball. 
  • Dribble to three point line - ball to trailer who pins and spins + finishes.
  • Other 2 receive ball from baseline and also finish.
  • In return - blue sprints forward - to cone and returns to ball
  • Red takes last ball and passes to front. 
  • Guard sprints forward and receives the ball from the blue and finishes.
drawing Warm-up Offensive transitioning with 3
  • Per 5 on 1 side.
  • If not with 10.
  • Omit 1 pass.
  • You stay on the same side.
  • Pass the ball to the other row.




drawing Warming up and transition after free throws
  • 2 teams.
  • Behind the baseline each team has 6 pots.
  • If you score, you may add one of the other teams' pots to your own.  
  • First team with 9 pots behind its baseline wins.
    • Left lay up.
    • Left jump stop - cross over.
    • Left lay back.
    • Free throws.
Make sure all players have a ball
  • The player starts at the post next to the bucket.
  • Player dribbles to the basket
  • Variations:
    • The player stops on two feet = jumpshot
    • The player starts the two-count rhythm = lay-up
      • From the right side: first right foot, drop with left foot.
      • From the left side: first with left foot, then with right foot.
  • The player picks up his own rebound and dribbles around the pole.
  • The player zigzags through the posts.
  • The player then rejoins the line near the basket.
When there is a large group, this exercise can be done on both sides of the field.
  • Who is the first group to reach 20 scores, wins.
