Basketball drills for technique dribbling

• Pass the 1st part through the legs without dribbling
• 2nd part with dribbling, stay low and then shoot away for the lay-up
• Goal: stay low (this way you can move quickly past your defender)
• 3 laps

Everyone has a basketball and 1 tennis ball:

• Dribble with the tennis ball (do not use basketball)
• Dribble -> toss the tennis ball and catch it
• Dribble -> drop tennis ball -> take back the tennis ball above your hand in a quick movement.
• Dribble -> throw tennis ball up briefly -> take back the tennis ball with your upper hand in a fast movement.
• Dribble -> drop tennis ball -> crossover dribble -> take back tennis ball above hand in a fast movement
• Dribble -> throw up tennis ball -> crossover dribble -> catch tennis ball before it falls to the ground
• Dribble -> throw up tennis ball against the wall -> catch tennis ball again

everyone a ball, set up in large circle. 

Trainer shows exercise, players perform the exercise afterwards:

• Spread, roll the ball in an 8-shape between the legs (then dribble)
• Turn the ball around your waist, head legs (change direction)
• Dribble with left, right, change hands
• Make the whole group dribble evenly (rhythm-exercise, all in time!)
• Dribble between your legs
• Dribble behind your back
• Make a shot movement up (extend arm, reposition, catch)
• Spreading position (move the ball in 8-shape without touching the ground)
• 2 balls (at the same time, alternately)
• Reverse left/right (first forward, then backward)
• Between your legs (walk forward, 1x between your legs)

• The 1st player dribbles through the cones to the baseline. 
• Put the ball down on the baseline and do 4 step slide between baseline and midline.
• Takes the ball back and dribbles to the cones and changes direction and scores lay up, 
• After the rebound, print 5 times, 

• Starting 2 player on baseline
• Spurts to the cone and do step slide to next cone
• The first player to take the ball does speed dribble to the other side to score. 
• The other player becomes defender

2 rows, 1 ball per team

• Player scores, rebound own ball, and passes to next player in line
• Player who has scored runs to the other baseline to pick up a pilon and brings it back to the group
• Group with the most pilons at the end wins

All players have one ball and are in a row. The front player indicates the pace and may dribble along the lines through the room 

• Trainer indicates if they should dribble left/right, trainer tries to take away ball 
• Forward/reverse if necessary 
• Don't look at the ball 

• Two rows on the side at the height of the center line. 
• Ball is on one side, attacker decides when he leaves and runs to the middle line, which he must cross all the way. 
• The defender also departs but only has to touch the centre circle. 
• Aim of the exercise is to come in front of the attacker as a defender. 
• When a goal is made, 3 push-ups for the defender, a miss is 3 push-ups for the attacker.

1. with 1 ball (repeat 2 or 3 times)
2. Stand in a circle
   • 1 ball / dribble on the spot
   • call name of the other and bounce pass
   • No name mentioned is out of the circle!
   • Not captured, out of the circle!
3. same with 2 balls (repeat 2 or 3 times)

• With 3 men on the back line and the middle one has a ball.
• The middle one passes to a man and chases the ball.
• The receiver keeps the ball behind him and the one who passed first takes the ball and passes on.
• The person who has the ball behind his back runs behind the ball, picks it up at the receiver and passes on to the other side.
• They do this while running to the basket on the other side.
• If someone is close enough to the basket, the man plays a lay-up.
• Make variations on the passing lines

To improve shooting, the players practice the movement first without the actual basket. 

• They stand in position with knees slightly bent,
• hold a basketball with the strong hand under the ball and the other hand behind it. 
• The players bring the ball to the shot zone (in front of and above the head). 
• Next, the players push the basketball in the desired direction after which the hand and wrist move downwards (gooseneck). 
• If this goes well, the players can try to shoot in the direction of the basket.
• They can vary with place and distance.

The players practice the lay-up. 

• They divide themselves over 2 rows, 1 on the left side of the basket and 1 on the right side of the basket. 
• The first player of each row dribbles to the basket with the strong hand. 
• Then the player takes 2 steps, first with the strong leg, then with the weaker leg. 
• The player takes a jump with the strong leg and tries to throw the ball against the square on the board after which it ends up in the basket. 
• The player catches the ball and dribbles to the row on the other side and then ends at the back of the row to try it from the other side.

• 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.
