Basketball drills

• 4 Players on the baseline.
• Player B has ball and dribbles to the cone.
• B passes to player C.
• B and C go to goal.
• Player A and D sprint around the cone and start defending.

• Players at the baseline have the ball.
• He passes the ball to the blue player and walks towards the other baseline.
• He gets the ball back and passes it to the red player.
• He gets the ball back and passes the ball to the orange player.
• He gets the ball back and dribbles to the basket and finishes with lay up.
• When the blue player has passed the ball he runs to the spot of the red player.
• The red player to the orange player and the orange player takes the rebound and starts the exercise on the other side.
• Variations in finishing and eventually close out and live defence possible.

• The players line up in two groups on the sideline near the halfway line.
• The first 2 players of the red group line up on one side of the field and have the ball.
• One player of the blue team lines up on the other side.
• As soon as the attacking team crosses the centre line, the 2nd player of the blue team runs around the cone in the centre circle and starts defending.
• Attacking players try to score before the 2nd player gets there.

• Player on top attacks the basket.
• Passes along the baseline.
• Ball to corner makes quick extra pass to wing who takes the 3 point shot.
• The player at the corner runs to the basket immediately after the pass.
• Where that gets the ball from the player on the wing on the opposite side works off under the hoop.
• White triangle takes rebound from the 3 point shot.
• Blue player takes own rebound. (Passing clockwise.)

• 21 cone shot exercise, With each score the player walks behind a cone and places it on the side, The exercise is done when all the cones are distributed,

• Players stand in two lines at the height of the free throw line.
• Everyone has a ball except the first person of one of the lines.
• The player without the ball enters the free throw line and receives the pass -> pivot -> crossover/open-step -> lay-up/shot
• The player takes his own rebound and joins the other row.

Assume the correct position after intake, rebound or score

• Player sprints from the corner baseline to the first post.
• At the first post a drop step and slides towards the second post.
• From the second post, backward defensive footwork to the third post.
• At the third pole a dropstep followed by slides to the fourth pole.
• You do this until you are back at the starting point.

• One row on the baseline/corner and one row in the center circle with ball.
• Pass to the corner and then run to the same corner and get the ball back at the post.
• Then there are a number of possibilities such as open-step or crossover and 1 vs 0 to the basket.
• Adjuster takes care of the rebound.

• Two players with one ball.
• Both players have the ball in their hands and start pulling hard to get the ball loose from the other.
• Best of 3 loser 5 push-ups.

• Two lines,
  • one a meter behind mid-court,
  • other behind circle on defense side.
• Two balls in middle
• Two hard dribbles, jump stop, pass for layup.

• 4 things you can do after passing:
  • Ball-screen.
  • Screen away.
  • Cut to the basket (example: give and go, or back-cut). Back cut if the defender is denying the pass.
  • V-cut and pop back outside for the return pass and outside shot.
• Rules without the ball:
  • If you have an under-play (defender sagging off), pop out to spread the defense.
  • If you have an overplay (being denied), backcut.
  • Someone dribbling at you, backcut (except for the weave plays).
  • Fill the open spot when a teammate cuts inside.
  • When someone dribble-penetrates, relocate.
  • Screen away, and pop out.
  • The most important rule is to keep moving.
