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
The players form 2 lines on the baseline, everyone has a ball except the first person of 1 of the 2 lines.
