Basketball drills

between-the-legs-1

Prerequisites:

  • Players should have a reasonable grasp of the basic technique of dribbling.


Objective:
practice speed change and change of direction with the ball between the legs

Organization:

  • players dribble zigzagging between two lines along the length of the field
  • when they reach a longitudinal line with their foot, they make a dribble between the legs, changing direction and accelerating
  • when the first dribbler is at the extended free throw line, the next one starts


Teaching points:

  • look over the ball and survey the court in front of you
  • stop with a jump in 2 TR
  • Leg on the side of the ball is behind
  • Hand over the ball
  • dribble backwards between the legs and low
  • with a crossover step in the other direction


Variations:
use dribbling goggles





behind-the-back-2

Requirements:

  • Players must be able to dribble away diagonally with one hand on the side of the ball


Preparatory exercise:

  • two players stand next to the free throw line, both feet pointing to the back line.Pass to each other with a bounce pass behind the back


Objective:
To practice speed change and direction change with the ball behind the body, while keeping the dribbler's field of vision focused on the part of the field in front of him

Organisation:

  • players dribble zigzagging between two lines along the length of the field
  • when their foot reaches a longitudinal line, they make a behind-the-back dribble
  • change direction and accelerate
  • when the first dribbler is at the extended free throw line, the next one starts
  • Teaching points:
  • look over the ball and survey the court in front of you
  • Leg on the side of the ball is in front
  • hand over the ball
  • Pass the ball with a quick movement behind your back
  • Pull the hand with the ball through so far that the wrist touches the hip on the other side The ball then hits the ground well in front of the body, matching the speed at which the dribbler is moving, so that it bounces exactly into the other hand.
  • direction change is often less than 90 degrees

Variations:Â-

  • Start left and right

Prerequisites:

  • players must already have good dribbling skills


Objective:
Using penetration to play the defender out of position and create a jump shot and use backup dribble to create space if that fails

Organisation:

  • the four positions are always one metre outside the three-point line.
  • always penetrate with the right hand on the right side of the helpline, on the left with the left hand.
  • player 1 dribbles in hard with his right hand
  • Switches hands under the buttocks at the bucket's edge
  • and goes with a backup dribble with the left hand to the next position
  • passes under the buttocks and with right again dribbles in hard
  • to the third position with backup left and directly dives in with left again
  • from the last position stop at the bucket's edge and take a jump shot


Teaching points:

  • Always go in hard
  • Keep body between ring and ball during backup
  • Head right to overlook the whole width of the field.
  • do not penetrate further than the bucket rim.
  • dribble backwards to one meter outside the three-point line.


Variations:

  • start on the other side
  • Finish with rocker step, fade away etc.
  • retreat instead of backup, i.e. jump backwards with two feet when breaking the penetration, then pass under the buttocks
  • between the legs instead of under the buttocks
  • The teacher selects 2 taggers.
  • They have to stay within their box (within the 4 pilons) and tap the basketballs away from the runners if they want to cross.
  • So the runners have to dribble to the other side without losing their basketball.
  • If a runner doesn't have the basketball with him, he is finished and automatically becomes a tagger.
  • A tip you can give to the runners is that they shield the ball with their body.
  • This means keeping your body between the ball and the opponent.
  • The runners are not allowed to cross again until everyone has tapped or reached the other side.
  • In the end, as the game progresses, you get more and more taps and fewer runners.
  • The last remaining runner is the winner.


drawing Trying to run across
  • 2 or 4 teams (1 or 2 fields)
  • Each team has 1 ball and is at the head of the bucket
  • Take turns shooting
  • If you score then you may go to the other basket to shoot a free throw
  • Is it touching, it is 1 point.
    • At 5 points the team has won
  • Possibly you can turn it into a conditioning training
  • When a shot is missed
  • There must then be run to the back line and back 
  • A runs in and (runs or around his/her axis and passes the ball to B or gives a sliding flat to B).
  • B takes the ball open and gives a weighted push (a push that stops rolling) in the course of player C
  • C takes the ball and accelerates to the pilons line without stopping or slowing it down (hip just in front of the left foot is the easiest way to do this) C the ball in the course of Player D 
  • Player D runs through the ball and takes the ball strongly. He runs through one gives a backhand pass (FINGERS SPREAD) to E 
  • Player E takes the ball at once and gives a bouncing ball in the course of F that takes and scores!
  • Differentiation:
    • Player A must give a slide on B (let the ball slide off your stick)
    • Persist: you are chasing your ball
drawing Passing exercise with different passing forms
  • Get ready for the free throw with rebounders. 
    • 1 person shoots the free throw
  • Rebounders try to catch the ball:
  • Attack gets the ball trying to score on the same basket
  • Defense catches the ball, tries to score on the opposite basket
  • If a bucket is made, the scoring team may take a free throw.
  • Two teams
    • 1 team will slide into the bucket, everyone has a number (front to back)
    • Other team is going to stand at the 3 point line
  • I pass the ball to someone and then everyone in the bucket will box out someone from outside the bucket. 
  • Pay attention: 
    • Agree who defends whom.
    • If you box out, make contact first and then turn open
  • If the defending team has caught the ball, it can start attacking
  • Each score one point, team that has 3 points first.
  • Distribute over 2 baskets
    • Ball bouncing straight up
    • Run to the center line and back
    • Then shoot ball
    • 2x from any spot and then move one spot through
  • Pass the 1st part through the legs without dribbling
  • 2nd part with dribbling, stay low and then shoot away for the lay-up
  • Goal: stay low (this way you can move quickly past your defender)
  • 3 laps
drawing Staying low to the ground
  • Purpose:
    • Reaction speed and 1 against 1 
  • Assignment:
    • Divide the players into pairs and give them one number per pair. 
    • When the trainer says a number, the players with that number sprint to the center as fast as possible, grab the basketball and dribble to basket for 1 to 1.
    • They get only 1 attempt to score. After their goal attempt, the ball goes back to the trainer. 
  • You can also call several numbers at once for 2 against 2, 3 against 3 etc.
  • 5 x 2 free throws = 10 free throws
  • Standard 50% = 5 hits out of 10
    • 5 or more points: standard achieved!
    • 4 points: jump 20 times as high as possible every time
    • 3 points: 40 x jump
    • 2 points: 40 x jump + 15 sit ups
    • 1 point: 40 x jumping + 30 sit ups
    • 0 points: 40 x jump + 40 sit ups
