Basketball drills

Triplets with a ball.

• Trainer throws ball against the board, team must rebound and choose outlet.
• Trainer blocks off one side so they have to pick and ask for the ball!
• Outlet dribbles to the middle and 3X0 completes with a layup (pace.)

• Depending on the level of the U12 explain: outlet, ask for the ball (hands), fill in lines and run attack.
• Trainer can be disruptive at the 2x1, pay attention to left and right handed dribbling.

Games with different assignments/restrictions.
Pay attention to free running, not blind dribbling, good passing, pivoting, talking.

• 3x3 without dribbling (1 basket)
• with max 2 dribbles
• Both teams lie on the back line (on stomach),
• trainer puts ball in play via shot or bounce (quickly choose position, who will attack?)
• just play to the 10 (end game)

Divide the group into pairs.

Passing to the other side:

• First 2-groups fit around the whole field.
• 3 meter distance, no running
• Variant: at the halfway line:
  • Player on the inside dribbles to the head of the bucket and passes to the player on the outside who scores with lay-up/shot.
• Player who has passed runs to the other sideline and receives outlet, passes back to the center line and again shot/layup
• Left and right side

Important that they do not run during the pass and that the players change (inside and outside).

• Divide the players into groups and give each player a number (equal groups).
• Each group in a corner of the field and balls in the centre circle.
• When the coach says your number, you run to the centre circle, grab a ball and you get 2 attempts to score (max 2 x 1 point for your group).
• Games to the 10 for example and losers push up.
• To keep the speed up, have several numbers run at the same time.

• Everyone a ball, line up in a large circle.
• Trainer shows the exercise, players follow:
  • Spread out and roll the ball in an 8-shape between the legs.
  • Roll the ball around your waist, head legs (change direction)
  • Dribble with left, right, change hands.
  • let the whole group dribble at the same time (rhythm exercise, all in rhythm!)
  • dribble between your legs
  • dribble behind your back
  • Shot movement upwards (extend arm, point, catch)
  • Spread position (move the ball in an 8-shape without touching the ground)

• Make 2 rows with 1 ball.
• Player gives bounce/chest pass to other row and runs after the ball, and closes behind.
• Extend:
  • Place a pylon around which the players have to walk (or 2 pylons).
  • Possibly instead of passing dribble with the ball (left and right)

• finger tip over head for chest cupboard.
• around head, waist, knee
• make between legs
• release ball between legs and change hands to catch without impact.
• throw ball behind back over shoulder left right.
• 10x right dribble 10x left dribble. pushing hard on the ball and not looking at the ball.
• 2x right cross to left 2x left cross ... Don't look at ball
• Dribble an 8 through the legs and keep the ball low.
• Keep dribbling the ball behind your back.
• Dribble between the legs front and back

• 4 groups of players in each corner of the field.
• 4 cones in the centre circle
• 2 balls on each side line

• Score 10 free throws.
• When you score your first free throw, you may take your second.
• When you miss your first shot, you sprint back and forth twice.

• 2 players start on 3 point line + 1 player with ball on top
• Players 2 and 3 sprint to baseline and back.
• Player 1 passes ball to player 2 or 3. Player 2 and 3 then play 1x1.
• Variation :
  • In a second phase, passes can also be made to the player on top who then passes back.

• You slide over the back lines and over the middle line and sprint over the other lines.
• You run an eight twice and then a rest and that 3 times.
• You start in the corner

• You dribble to the center line while the defender sends you to one side until the basket-basket line and the off line after the center line 1v1
