Basketballexercises for technique system
- Positions: Thrower, ball handler, wing player, corner player (spots).
- Try to pass quickly and avoid too much dribbling.
- Positions: Thrower, ball handler, wing player, corner player (spots).
- The thrower never stands under the basket.
- The other three players stand on the designated line.
- The thrower calls "GO".
- The middle player runs towards the basket.
- If the ball cannot be received, make space again.
- The player on the same side as the thrower runs to the corner.
- The player on the opposite side of the thrower runs along the corner towards the basket.
- Playing from 5 spots
- After each ball is taken, an action is made to the basket.
- This can be done in a drive or with a shot.
- When the attacker is stopped by a defender, he passes the ball to the outside and cuts to the basket, via the baseline he mans a free spot in the corner.
- When a drive is initiated, the defense can either go into help defense, which always leaves someone free at the 3-point line.
- When the defense does not go into help defense, the attackers must run free in order to be able to receive the ball when the driver gets stuck.
- Important is the speed between receiving the ball and the drive.
- When the defense presses too high a cut to the basket can also be made to get free from his defender.
- Player stands on the wing position with a ball, in front of her there is a defender.
- An attacker and a defender are at the guard position.
- The attacker cuts in to the 6-spot and back up, the defender defends along with her.
- Once back up, the defender stands and the attacker cuts inside again and gets the ball with a good pass from the winger.
- He then finishes 1 to 0.
- Make it more difficult or easier by adjusting defenses or using more players.
- Important - warm up means - build intensity - be in motion.
- Coach in the middle
- Groups start with the ball under goal
- First no ball
- Move to the other side
- Coach goes a little further each time until three point line
- LU left and right every time
- At some point shot
- Dynamic stretching by cap
- Shooting
- sideline 2 rows
- 4 balls
- on 2 sides
- 1 against 1 first dribble upwards with defense

- 1 and 2 on free throw line.Screen low to high, roll off. Free.
- 3 in front of center line weakside.
- 5/4 just below free throw line ballside on attack half.
- 4/4 taking in becomes trailer. Cuts in towards the ball.
- Ball must be on the side or hand-off.
4 or 5 takes ball. With double screen for 1.
3 joins 5 or 4, depends on who takes ball below baseline. Watch your opponent.....! Be smart, think in the field!
3 sets up double screen with 5 (or 4).
1 can cut along here on 2 sides. 3 rolls off to the outside. (Can also get the ball from 4), 5 rolls off to 1 side. Depending on choice of side screen by 1.
2 moves to baseline and comes back to spot for possible shot.
4 or 5, steps into the field. 1 now has shot/lay-up or 3 pass possibilities. 3 provides defensive balance.
- Center stands with defender on low post with the ball.
- (4 lines, 2 defense, 2 offense. Swap spots after each shot)
- Pass to forward.
- (Passive defense drill)
- After pass, center runs to three-point line.
- (Defense defending in the back)
- Forward pass to center on 3pointline.
- Cut forward to basket/pass center, hand-off from center, forward over head, over or under.
- Passive defense. As offense skills increase, passive defense can be converted to active defense.
- (Connecting exercise to 3-out, 2-in offense).
- Expansion: 3rd player with defender low pivot weakside.
- 3 against 3 in triangle.
- Center stands with defender on low post with ball (4 rows, 2 defense, 2 offense.

- 1 dribbles towards the wing
- 3 cuts across the perimeter taking both screens from 4 and 5, at the same time 2 cuts towards the middle of the bucket.
- Immediately after putting the screens on the elbow, 4 and 5 place an ellevator screen in front.
- 2 runs through the screen towards the perimeter for the catch and shoot 3 pointer

- 1 passes to 3 on the wing.
- 1 then executes a UCLA cut on 5's screen.
- 3 looks for the pass to 1 if not going 1 runs inside and flares out to weak side.
- 4 and 5 then place a staggered screen in front of 2 who looks inside curl ten before receiving the pass for the open lay up.
- 4 steps out from behind the screen to create space.
- 5 then sets a screen for 3 for the pick and roll. Then 3 goes hard to the hoop and looks to score or create opportunities for a teammate.
- X1 passes to X2 (look for the give and go)
- X1 puts a down screen on X4
- X4 comes across the screen curls inside and go to the 1 spot. (X4 looks for the shot)
- X1 puts screen on X3 at the same time X5 puts screen on X2.
- X2 takes the screen
- X5 pick and roll outside as shot option
- X3 takes the screen and runs inside parallel to X2 (pass option)
- If the drive is not possible pass swing to X4
- X2 puts screen on X4
- at the same time X5 puts screen on X3
We then pass to 1
Creative “numbers†drill
- Attacker O1 starts the drill by initiating dribble penetration;
- Then all the other players in line move;
- Attackers try to score, defenders try to stop ball;
- If successful, 4-on-0 break on other basket;
- Scoring system and possibly time-limit to your own interpretation;
- Players may run free at their own discretion;
Teaching point: An open driving lane is a more or less perpendicular path to the basket or to a help defender in the bucket.
Help defense is out of position = 1-to-1
This rule does apply after five passes. So again: We play 1-on-1 only after five passes!
Requirements
- Basket insight into positional play, knowledge of feint movements
Target
- learn to move in attack and fill the free spot
Organisation
- 5 spots
- 1 player / spot (U10 4 players, U12 5 players)

- Feint and cut through towards the basket.
- Meanwhile position 3 takes the place of position 1 and position 5 takes the place of position 3.
- Cutting player takes place of position 5 (= spot released).
- Perform automatically 5 passes and then score via lay-up or jump-shot.
Teaching Points
- Good chest/bounce pass,
- Quick cut with feint (angular),
- Open spot fill up,
- Get ball = in shooting position watch basket first before passing.
