Basketball drill: catch and go

Prerequisites:

• be able to make a jump stop from the dribble
• make a jump shot from the middle of the bucket

Goal:learn tocatchand go + score from the middle of the bucket

Preparation:

• 1 dribbles to the middle of the bucket immediately after catching with 2 dribbles
• stops the dribble with a jump stop
• and scores with a jump shot
• 2 sprints immediately after passing to the forward position at the other side
• and receives the ball from 3
• ditto, but now after the jump stop turn backwards around the defender
• (possibly a chair in the place of the defender)
• same, but after turning backwards, do not finish, but pivot back so that both feet are pointing to the basket again
• Second foot about 50 cm behind the pivot foot.
• score with a jump shot with the shoulders far back (fade away) and a high bow

Teaching points:

• From catching the ball, dribble in quickly and immediately.
• Stop for one second, so you can pivot in both directions.
• When turning backwards, bring the ball up under your chin and put your right hand under the ball
• when turning backwards, turn so far that the foot points at least to the backline

Applied in 1v1:

• 1 taps the hand of defender 2 and sprints to the forward position
• 2 may start to defend after being tapped
• 1 dribbles straight in with max 2 dribbles and makes a jump stop in the middle of the bucket
• and scores in one of the three practiced ways
• score with another technique = lose
• winner stays put
• loser goes to defend
