Basketball drills for technique dribbling

• 5 men start at the center line.
• 1 makes lay up becomes defence
• 2 taps the cone and also defends
• 3 rebounds and throws in
• 4-5 hit baseline and ask to play ball for 3-2

2 teams, 1 ball.

• Depending on the size of the teams a half field or quarter field.
• Dribbling allowed, players must pass to avoid being tapped with ball.
• Tapping the player with the ball is a point, out of bounds/ or run point for the other side, 30 seconds without being tapped is a point.

Divide group into pairs.
Passing to the other side:

• At the halfway line: player on the inside dribbles to the head of the bucket and passes to the player on the outside who scores with a layup/ shot (variation)
• Player who has passed runs to the other sideline and receives outlet, passes back to the center line and again shot/layup
• Important that they do not run during the pass and that the players change (inside and outside)

For U12 first explain well which lines are used.
Standard killer with line touching, executing with ball and different commands.

• Slowly build up speed as a warming up,
• Possibly let a player determine what the assignments are.
• Do take a rest now and then.

Tasks:

• Left to go, right back
• Left/right (cross)
• Backwards (2 times left, 2 times right)
• Put the ball down (under ball back, pick up ball back and next line)
• With press-ups (2x on the line), jumping, abs ect.

Depending on the size of the group choose an area (bucket for max 6)

• Everyone a ball, dribble and tap the ball away from other players.
• Ball away means pushing into the centre circle and back again.
• If necessary, make it difficult with a second dribble (keep the ball alive!)

Games with different assignments/restrictions.
Pay attention to free running, not blind dribbling, good passing, pivoting, talking.

• 3x3 without dribbling (1 basket)
• with max 2 dribbles
• Both teams lie on the back line (on stomach),
• trainer puts ball in play via shot or bounce (quickly choose position, who will attack?)
• just play to the 10 (end game)

Divide the group into pairs.

Passing to the other side:

• First 2-groups fit around the whole field.
• 3 meter distance, no running
• Variant: at the halfway line:
  • Player on the inside dribbles to the head of the bucket and passes to the player on the outside who scores with lay-up/shot.
• Player who has passed runs to the other sideline and receives outlet, passes back to the center line and again shot/layup
• Left and right side

Important that they do not run during the pass and that the players change (inside and outside).

Players start at the bottom of the ring in 2 lines.

1) On the right side of the ring, players make a zig-zag run with the ball, changing direction at each cone (cross, behind the back, through the legs and spin move).

• Once at the center line, the player dribbles with the left hand towards the cones #1 here you do a backup dribble and go with a cross-over past the cones and finish with a lay-up.

2) On the left side of the ring, players do a short/explosive zig-zag and sprint from the last pawn to the center line.

• Once at the center line, they dribble right-handed to cones #2, here they do a backup dribble and crossover past the cones and finish with lay-up.

• At cones #1 and #2 you can vary with crossover, behind the back, through the legs and spin move
• Finish with lay-up or short distance shot
  
  

• Everyone a ball, line up in a large circle.
• Trainer shows the exercise, players follow:
  • Spread out and roll the ball in an 8-shape between the legs.
  • Roll the ball around your waist, head legs (change direction)
  • Dribble with left, right, change hands.
  • let the whole group dribble at the same time (rhythm exercise, all in rhythm!)
  • dribble between your legs
  • dribble behind your back
  • Shot movement upwards (extend arm, point, catch)
  • Spread position (move the ball in an 8-shape without touching the ground)

1. Everyone has a ball
   • 10x high/10x middle/10x low -> focus on the power on the ball and dribbling with the fingertips
   • 10x right 2 dribbles -> crosscross (step on the cross)
   • 10x left 2 dribbles -> crosscross (step on the cross)
   • 10x right 2 dribbles -> Between (step)
   • 10x left 2 dribbles -> Between (step)
   • 10x right 2 dribbles -> Behind (step)
   • 10x left 2 dribbles -> Behind (step)
   • 5x right 2 dribbles -> cross/between/behind
   • 5x left 2 dribbles -> cross/between/behind
2. Per 2, 1 person has 2 balls
   • 2 dribbles with both balls -> pass one ball to the other player and do the above exercises but dynamically (walk to the other side of the field)
   • different variations possible: cross, between and behind
3. Per 2, 1 ball
   • The person carrying out the exercise receives the ball and does the exercise 'cross/between/behind' once and then gives the pass back.
   • The person carrying out the exercise receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 2x and then returns the pass
   • the performer receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 3x and gives back the pass
   • the performer receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 4x and gives back the pass
   • the performer receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 5x and gives back the pass
   • the performer receives the ball and does the cross/between/behind exercise 4x, and then returns the pass
   • the performer receives the ball and does the cross/between/behind exercise 3 times, and then gives back the pass
   • the performer receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 2x and gives back the pass
   • the performer receives the ball and does the exercise "cross/between/behind" 1x and gives back the pass

• 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.
• At the end you dribble back.
• Back at the start, grab the ball and make a maximum of 2 passes.
• During the last 2 passes, player 2 takes over the ball and dribbles the course.
• Repeat for 1 minute
