Basketball drills

Prerequisites:

• Players should have a reasonable grasp of the basic technique of dribbling.

Objective:
practice speed change and change of direction with the ball between the legs

Organization:

• players dribble zigzagging between two lines along the length of the field
• when they reach a longitudinal line with their foot, they make a dribble between the legs, changing direction and accelerating
• when the first dribbler is at the extended free throw line, the next one starts

Teaching points:

• look over the ball and survey the court in front of you
• stop with a jump in 2 TR
• Leg on the side of the ball is behind
• Hand over the ball
• dribble backwards between the legs and low
• with a crossover step in the other direction

Variations:
use dribbling goggles

Requirements:

• Players must be able to dribble away diagonally with one hand on the side of the ball

Preparatory exercise:

• two players stand next to the free throw line, both feet pointing to the back line.Pass to each other with a bounce pass behind the back

Objective:
To practice speed change and direction change with the ball behind the body, while keeping the dribbler's field of vision focused on the part of the field in front of him

Organisation:

• players dribble zigzagging between two lines along the length of the field
• when their foot reaches a longitudinal line, they make a behind-the-back dribble
• change direction and accelerate
• when the first dribbler is at the extended free throw line, the next one starts
• Teaching points:
• look over the ball and survey the court in front of you
• Leg on the side of the ball is in front
• hand over the ball
• Pass the ball with a quick movement behind your back
• Pull the hand with the ball through so far that the wrist touches the hip on the other side The ball then hits the ground well in front of the body, matching the speed at which the dribbler is moving, so that it bounces exactly into the other hand.
• direction change is often less than 90 degrees
  
  

Variations:Â-

• Start left and right

Prerequisites:

• players must already have good dribbling skills

Objective:
Using penetration to play the defender out of position and create a jump shot and use backup dribble to create space if that fails

Organisation:

• the four positions are always one metre outside the three-point line.
• always penetrate with the right hand on the right side of the helpline, on the left with the left hand.
• player 1 dribbles in hard with his right hand
• Switches hands under the buttocks at the bucket's edge
• and goes with a backup dribble with the left hand to the next position
• passes under the buttocks and with right again dribbles in hard
• to the third position with backup left and directly dives in with left again
• from the last position stop at the bucket's edge and take a jump shot

Teaching points:

• Always go in hard
• Keep body between ring and ball during backup
• Head right to overlook the whole width of the field.
• do not penetrate further than the bucket rim.
• dribble backwards to one meter outside the three-point line.

Variations:

• start on the other side
• Finish with rocker step, fade away etc.
• retreat instead of backup, i.e. jump backwards with two feet when breaking the penetration, then pass under the buttocks
• between the legs instead of under the buttocks

• 2 or 4 teams (1 or 2 fields)
• Each team has 1 ball and is at the head of the bucket
• Take turns shooting
• If you score then you may go to the other basket to shoot a free throw
• Is it touching, it is 1 point.
  • At 5 points the team has won
• Possibly you can turn it into a conditioning training
• When a shot is missed
• There must then be run to the back line and back 

• A runs in and (runs or around his/her axis and passes the ball to B or gives a sliding flat to B).
• B takes the ball open and gives a weighted push (a push that stops rolling) in the course of player C
• C takes the ball and accelerates to the pilons line without stopping or slowing it down (hip just in front of the left foot is the easiest way to do this) C the ball in the course of Player D 
• Player D runs through the ball and takes the ball strongly. He runs through one gives a backhand pass (FINGERS SPREAD) to E 
• Player E takes the ball at once and gives a bouncing ball in the course of F that takes and scores!
• Differentiation:
  • Player A must give a slide on B (let the ball slide off your stick)
  • Persist: you are chasing your ball

• Starting at the rear line
  • Here you dribble between the cones
  • Keep the ball low
  • Speed is not so important
  • Do control the ball
• At the center line make a cros over to the wing
• Then make a jump shot

  
  

• Purpose:
  • Reaction speed and 1 against 1 
• Assignment:
  • Divide the players into pairs and give them one number per pair. 
  • When the trainer says a number, the players with that number sprint to the center as fast as possible, grab the basketball and dribble to basket for 1 to 1.
  • They get only 1 attempt to score. After their goal attempt, the ball goes back to the trainer. 
• You can also call several numbers at once for 2 against 2, 3 against 3 etc.

• Numbers opposite each other. 
• Increasing distance slowly.
  • Pass with 1 hand up on 1 hand teammate.
  • Catch with 1 hand and throw back. Continue until ball falls. 
  • Alternate right/left.
• As soon as this runs. 
  • Two numbers left and right midcourt. 
  • Throw with 1 hand, catch, pass with same hand on cutting player for lay-up.
  • Left/right alternate.

• Twos: 
• 3x10 shots. 
• Shot outside the bucket player A, player B rebound.
• Player A runs to midcourt.
• Touches line with hand comes back gets the pass.
• Shot. 10x. 
• Then switch. 
• 2nd time e.g. to sideline, 3rd time back line.

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

Without ball (3x)

• Sprint & close-out
• Step-slide
• Back jogging
