Basketball drills

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.

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
