- Two players are positioned on the left side at the centre line ready for a lay-up.
- Three players are positioned on the right sideline, level with the free-throw line.
- Three players are positioned on the left sideline, level with the free-throw line.
- Players at the centre line start with their lay-up.
- After the lay-up, they take their own rebound and make an outlet pass to the waiting player on the sideline.
- Then they join the sideline group, level with the free-throw line.
- Lay-up, power lay-up, lay-back, jump stop.
- Change of direction at the three-point line.
- Cross-over, behind the back, reverse dribble at the centre line.
- After the lay-up, remain in a defensive position.
- Take a shot instead of a lay-up.
Execution
- Blue begins behind the free-throw line.
- Red stands with the ball and their back against Blue.

- The next three players are ready to start the weave and meet the current three players at the halfway line.
- A 3-on-3 situation arises in which a score must always be made.
- After a score, the newest three players start the weave and the next three meet them at the halfway line for a new 3-on-3 situation.
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.
Execution
- Players divide themselves over two baskets.
- Each player takes two free throws consecutively.
- After the free throws, regardless of whether they score or miss, the player sprints up and down the entire court.
- It is important that they accelerate well and give 100% effort.
- After the sprint, they return to the free throw line and take two more free throws.
- Players build their conditioning and simulate a game situation where they must also rest during their free throws.
Execution
- Four players are involved in this exercise.
- The player with the ball starts at the top of the key and drives the ball into the paint.
- Then, he passes the ball to a teammate on the baseline.
- A flair screen is set on the weak side.
- The player with the ball then drives along the baseline.
- Finally, the ball is passed out to the corner for a shot.
Objective
- Perform all exercises demonstrated by the trainer.
Assignment
- The players stand in a semicircle so everyone can see the trainer.
- The trainer demonstrates several exercises.
- The players imitate him or her.
Execution
- Stand with legs apart.
- Roll the ball between the legs in a figure 8 pattern.
- Rotate the ball around your waist, legs, and head.
- Occasionally change direction.
- Bounce the ball on the ground with both hands and catch it again with both hands.
- Throw the ball into the air with both hands and catch it again with both hands.
- Who can clap first before catching the ball?
- Stand with legs apart.
- Move the ball in a figure 8 pattern between the legs without letting it fall to the ground.
Lay-ups with the Left Hand
- Players start with lay-ups on the left side.
- The number of players determines how many successful shots are needed.
- Begin with a warm-up run.
- After warming up, make 30 successful lay-ups.
- After the 30 lay-ups, players immediately proceed to 20 jump shots.
- These shots are taken from mid-range.
- Upon completion, switch sides.
- On the new side, start with another warm-up.
- Again, make 30 successful lay-ups and 20 jump shots.
Execution
- Try to score 10 free throws.
- If you score the first free throw, you may take the second one.
- If you miss the first throw, sprint back and forth twice.
