Basketball drills for technique catching
- Make 4 groups of at least 2 players.
- Put the groups in a square.
- You can make the square as big as you want, the bigger the heavier.
- The first players from Blue and Red cross to each other, halfway receive the ball from White/Orange and pass the ball to the position they are running to.
- The moment White and Orange have passed the ball they also cross over, now receiving the ball passed from Blue and Red.
- If this is going well at some point, you can have the players pass in the other direction.
- The players are divided into 4 corners,
- Every 2nd player in line has a ball.
- 2 players start and run diagonally across the field.
- At the 3-point line they receive the pass.
- Front to goal, feint, crossover to the ring and connect in the opposite corner.
- The passers in turn run diagonally to the other side.
- Outward, the classic weave is run.
- Back, the weave is run up to the center line.
- The next 3 players ready to run the weave catch the current 3 players half court and a 3 versus 3 situation is created from which a score must always be scored.
- After the score, the newest 3 players run the weave and the next 3 will catch these players half court for a 3 versus 3.
Weave with 3 players
- Player 1 finishes
- Player 2 and 3 receive a pass on the side of the court and take a shot with their own rebound.
- They try to make 100 scores within the 1.30 min
Option 1
- Blue runs to the middle and receives the pass from orange
- Orange then fills in blue
- White and Red come up at the same time that orange passes to blue
- White receives the pass from blue at the free throw line and faces the basket
- Red accelerates somewhere near the free throw line and heads for the basket
- White passes to red and red makes a layup
Option 2
- After orange passes to blue, orange also cuts across the right side and there is a second playoff opportunity for white.
Option 3
- Orange and blue continue to cut in and white takes a shot
- Orange and blue fight for the rebound and a score
* After building this exercise up to Option 3, players must be sharp, there can always be a pass or fight for the rebound.
* There is no dribbling
* Rotation is counterclockwise
* There is no dribbling
* Rotation is counterclockwise
- Everyone stands in a circle and start with 1 ball.
- The first player calls out the name of the person he/she wants to pass to and only when he/she looks does the player give a pass of their choice; collision, chest, overhead.
- If this goes well, you can differentiate to multiple balls.
- 1 or 2 rows just below the board on either side of the basket.
- Make sure there are at least 4 players per row.
- Ball is thrown against the board next to the basket and "tipped" into the tide by the next player (catch it two hands and throw it back to the board immediately).
- The third player catches this ball again, etcetera.
- After the action, a player closes behind the (other) row.
- The exercise is finished when a minimum number of successful tips in a row have been achieved (without the ball touching the ground).
- Variation:
- Players must pass behind the coach before they may rejoin the (other) row.
- The coach walks backwards slowly, which means they have to run harder. (This is a must with rows of 6 or more players).
- The ball must be both caught and thrown again during 1 jump. (is quite difficult for smaller or weaker players)
- Advice:
- This can also involve deducting 1 point in the event of a failed tip instead of starting again at zero.
- This can also involve deducting 1 point in the event of a failed tip instead of starting again at zero.
- 3 against 2 with passing every time.
- Help each other in defense when someone is free.
- The attackers learn to use a man advantage and to finish.
- Speed, precision, good passing and team play are necessary here.
- Everyone stands back to back.
- The first one throws the ball against the board, the rest time well each time to catch the ball in the air and throw it against the board again,.
- The 20th throws the ball into goal.
- Do this both right and left.
- They walk around cone or coach each time and rejoin at the back.
- Parties with different assignments/restrictions.
- Please note:
- Walk freely.
- Do not dribble blindly.
- Pass well.
- Pivot.
- Talking.
- 3x3 without dribbling. (1 basket)
- First 10 passes.
- Both teams on the back line. (on stomach)
- Trainer puts ball in play via shot or bounce. (Quick positioning, who will attack?).
- Just play to the 10 (end game).
- Four men in Diamond Defence.
- 5-6 men on offense.
- Ball changes position.
- Defence responds.
- Square formation, 2 balls.
- Player passes and runs diagonally to the other row.
- Receiving player passes on.
- Balls thus go around the sides of the square, and the player crosses only diagonally.
- (1 passes to 2, 3 passes to 4, then 2 to 3 and 4 to 1)
