Basketball drills for technique condition
Triplets with a ball.
- Trainer throws ball against the board, team must rebound and choose outlet.
- Trainer blocks off one side so they have to pick and ask for the ball!
- Outlet dribbles to the middle and 3X0 completes with a layup (pace.)
- Depending on the level of the U12 explain: outlet, ask for the ball (hands), fill in lines and run attack.
- Trainer can be disruptive at the 2x1, pay attention to left and right handed dribbling.
- Divide the players into groups and give each player a number (equal groups).
- Each group in a corner of the field and balls in the centre circle.
- When the coach says your number, you run to the centre circle, grab a ball and you get 2 attempts to score (max 2 x 1 point for your group).
- Games to the 10 for example and losers push up.
- To keep the speed up, have several numbers run at the same time.
- Make 2 rows with 1 ball.
- Player gives bounce/chest pass to other row and runs after the ball, and closes behind.

- Place a pylon around which the players have to walk (or 2 pylons).
- Possibly instead of passing dribble with the ball (left and right)
- 1 man attack - 1 man defend
- 3 to 5 gates, centre gate 4 points, inner gates 2 points, outer gate 1 point, failed 0 points
- 2 x 3 attempts, most points wins
- Player 1 dribbles while zigzagging between the pillars.
