Basketball drills for technique defense

• 2 baskets, minimum 5 players per basket needed.
• 1 player left sideline (A) extended free throw line. 1 right (B) same but with ball.
• 1/2 (C) players under the basket. 1 player C sets up on free throw line. Helpside defense stands.
• This player defends striker coming in from left (A) to get ball from passer (B) right.
• Stealing ball, 1 v 1. Attacker scores, back to A. If they do not score, back to B.
• B joins C after passing.
  
  

• Two men around the bucket for defense
• Three attackers:
• Attacker 1 passes the ball to attacker 2 
• All three attackers pass the ball around until one sees a gap and can get into the bucket
• He adjusts the ball and tries to score
• Up to 5 points, then switch roles and the attacker who has scored least stays in the attack.

Requirements:

• Stopping two feet together, pivoting, lay-up and jumpshot must be known

Aim:

• When passing, jump towards the ball with feet coming down correctly to start the next movement. (pivoting, start dribble)

Organization:

1. Coach gives passes from position 1, alternating left and right from under the basket. Give passes where jump-to-the-ball applies.

2. Player starts under the basket (2 groups of 5 to 6 players, of which two/group have a ball) ==> fast; explosive exercise.

3. Run to cone under the basket and quickly pushes himself away towards the cone at spot 2 or 3.

4. Makes movement from the cone to the ball to get the pass and perform a jump-to-the-ball.

5. After getting the ball pivot and attack towards the basket (first lay-up, then shot)

6. After finishing, change sides and pass the ball

Teaching points:

• Rapid explosive movement when running free
• correct ball acceptance (show hands) and foot placement
• pivoting and fast attacks without running errors

• Player blue passes to red and sprints to red for a close-out. 
• Player red tries to get into the "paint" to score. 
• Player blue is going to try to prevent this.
• Either blue can steal the ball 
  • point for blue
• Either red can score
  • point for red
• After a possible goal is score, red takes rebound, passes to the next in line. 
• Blue goes to the position of red.
  The exercise now starts again with the next players.

• Set-up.
• Have players line up on the baseline and assign the players numbers.
• The Drill - the coach rolls or tosses a ball to the center of half court and calls out a number.

• The two players assigned #4 attack the basketball, the player the wins the ball first is on offense and tries to score on the basket by the coach.
• Players are allowed one shot.
• Variations - Call two numbers.

• Four or more players are in a circle
• One or two defenders are in the middle
• The players wil pass to each other and the middle defenders try to catch the ball
• Players in the circle cannot pass to the person directly next to him (because otherwise the ball will not go through the middle)
• If the ball is catched, he will change place with the person who threw the ball
• Repeat ten times
• Any pass is legit
