Basketball drills
Divide the group into 2 teams.
- Tell the story that it is autumn and the nuts are falling from the trees.
- We are a group of squirrels and we need to gather as many nuts as we can to survive the winter. The team with the most nuts wins.
- The coach scatters the nuts (can be ping pong balls, tennis balls or other small balls).
- On the coach's signal, all players may start collecting nuts all dribbling.
- They may bring one nut at a time to their nest.
- When all the nuts are collected, we count the nuts per team and the team with the most nuts wins.
- The chaos forces the little players to look around and not at the ball when they are dribbling.
Variation:
- dribbling with weak hand
- One player stands on the back line.
- A row of players stand on the right corner of the bucket and left.
- The first player gets the ball, feints to one side and then makes a layup or set shot on the other side.
- Catch own ball, pass to the man on back line and stand in the other row.
- Then it's the other side's turn.
- 2 teams.
- Everyone a ball
- Shooting from 7 positions.
- When you have shot you go for your own Rebound, if you have caught your Rebound without the ball touching the ground you may score again immediately.
- 15 touches per position per team.
- So you can score 2 points at a time.
- Half Court shot, 1 hit no Rebound.
- Losing side receives a gift :)
- Starting lineup:
- 1 player at each corner of the bucket
- 3 defenders in the middle
- Progression:
- Players pass to each other without defense being able to touch the ball
- 1 point for each time the ball can be touched by defense
- 1 point for every bad pass from offense
- 1 point for every 5 good passes from offense
- Starting lineup:
- Each player has a ball
- Distribute the players among all available goals
- This exercise can also be used for an individual group
- Progression:
- Players must make 3 perfect shots per position
- A perfect shot is a shot with 1 hand
- A perfect shot does not touch the ring
- Depending on the number of players provide 3 to 4 positions per goal
- Progression:
- 5 perfect shots
- Perfect shots on all rings
- Additional positions
- 2 players start, each with their own ball.
- Player 1 starts with a pass to coach/helper, runs around the cone, receives the pass from player 2 and takes a shot from half distance.
- After the shot, player 2 makes a V-cut away from the ball, receives the pass and takes a shot from half distance.
- First cone, close-out
- Sliding to second cone
- Run around the last cone
- Grab ball
- Lay-up
- Players stand back to back on the end line, level with the bucket.
- The 1st player has no ball and runs around cone.
- At elbow level he receives the pass from the 2nd player: stop, feint and drive to goal with open step or cross over.
- Starting lineup:
- 5 players on one side of the field
- 5 players on the other side of the field
- 1 ball
- Conduct:
- Play 1 against 0
- Play 2 against 1
- Play 3 against 2
- Play 4 against 3
- Play 5 against 4
- Games 5 against 5
- Progression:
- 30 seconds rest before the next session starts
- Play this 5 times in a row until everyone has started once
- Play 6 against 6 if there are 12 of us
- Regression:
- Play this 1 time
- In groups of 3.
- One player passes to himself through the board, takes the rebound and gives an outlet pass by pivoting well.
- Second player receives the outlet pass and gives it to the third who was behind the first.
- Everyone slides through.
- Practice continues continuously.
- The players are divided into 4 corners,
- Every 2nd player in line has a ball.
- 2 players start and run diagonally across the field.
- At the 3-point line they receive the pass.
- Front to goal, feint, crossover to the ring and connect in the opposite corner.
- The passers in turn run diagonally to the other side.
- Starting lineup:
- 1 defender at the level of the free throw line
- Rest of the players in the middle of the center line
- Ball at the center line
- Progression:
- Player dribbles forcefully to in front of the free throw line and takes a shot
- Defense moves but does not prevent the shot
- Shotter takes own rebound and rejoins in the back
- Defense stays standing x number of times
- Progression:
- Defense comes up
- Offense does a crossover and takes a layup
- Extra defender on the lay-up
