Basketball drills
- The teacher places 2 pilons.
- See floor plan for the precise location, keep the basketball lines.
- The teacher divides the students into 2 teams and each team stands behind a pilon.
- The teams have to shoot the ball from the pilon into the basket.
- When a student has shot, he/she picks up the ball, gives/passes the ball to the next in line and connects to the back of the line again.
- Every ball that goes into the basket is a point.
- The team that scored 5 points first wins.
- Depends on the number of balls.
- In pairs or alone
- When alone:
- Start at your position, dribble across the basket.
- Set or Jumpshot from your position (Guard, forward, center).
- Up to 8 points.
- In pairs:
- Start at your position, pass to the opposite side of the basket.
- Last pass should be good so that shooter in jumpshot is ready for his/her shot.
- Up to 4 points per player.
- Losers: Slides over the width of the pitch, 1x back and forth.
- Two rows at the three-point line, extended freethrow line.
- 1 row with ball(s). Player row 1 makes quick cut through the bucket.
- Pass row 2 to player row 1.
- Jump stop just past the ring.
- About 1m of basket. Fakeshot.
- Pivoting and reverse lay-up.
- Turn pivot foot around defender. (Keep the defender in the back). 1 shot attempt.
- On 2 baskets at the same time depending on the number of players.
- 1 row of players stands in the corner at the 3-point line without ball. (A)
- 1 row of players stands 1 meter outside the bucket and 1 meter below the free throwing line with ball. (B)
- A runs to edge of the bucket on baseline and blocks (fictional). (2 pilons)
- Cuts to head of the bucket, turns in with right foot, gets pass from B. B follows the pass.
- Defense. A takes shot/ lay-up...
- B moves to row A. Player A catches his own ball and connects in row B.
- Left and right, basic drill for pick & roll offense.
- Can be played with 2 baskets.
- Team with 3 balls in a row on the freethrow line.
- First one shoots,
- second one shoots,
- If the previous player misses, the next player can shoot him out of the game.
- If you miss your shot, quickly finish under the basket.
- If the player behind it scores, the next player is out.
- Until one remains.
- With 3 balls, faster, more effective than with 2.
- 2 baskets, minimum 5 players per basket needed.
- 1 player left sideline (A) extended free throw line. 1 right (B) same but with ball.
- 1/2 (C) players under the basket. 1 player C sets up on free throw line. Helpside defense stands.
- This player defends striker coming in from left (A) to get ball from passer (B) right.
- Stealing ball, 1 v 1. Attacker scores, back to A. If they do not score, back to B.
- B joins C after passing.
- A row with ball at the head of the bucket.
- A row behind the free throw line on the right.
- Player on the head passes the ball to the forward on the side.
- The forward makes a strong drive to the triangle (defender), passes the ball out to the forward on weakside.
- The forward makes a strong drive to the basket.
- The player in front and the other forward who has passed go for the rebound.
- A line with the ball at the head of the bucket.
- A row behind the free throw line on the right.
- A row of the same but on the left.
- Centers + Guards + Forwards
- Starting from U14
- 6 or more players
- 1 ball
- two baskets
Requirements:
- Mastering the basics of a break
Aim:
- break training in a competitive situation
Organization:
- 2 teams with different shirt colors
- the players all run around the circle
- as soon as the coach shoots they're gonna rebound
- the team that captures the ball runs a break on the other side (no shot within 5 seconds = push up + take out other team on the back line)
- after score or defensive rebound the other team runs a break back
Teaching Points:
- outlet position and pass
- flyer on the other side at full speed away
- execute at top speed
- After score, take in position immediately with overhead pass
Variation:
- two teams arranged alternately in 2 rows
- the players tip the ball to each other via the board (jumping and tipping like a tip in)
- and connect to the back of the other row
- at the signal of the coach, the team that is currently picking up the ball runs a break
- on the other basket
- the other team defends
- (with an odd number, the largest team always attacks and there is automatically an excess situation)
- Two rows at the centerline
- The first two have a ball - Right
- From the center line you dribble to the basket:
- Layup (15x hit in a row, a player under the basket catches the ball and counts, play again if the player didn't count)
- Shots from bucket (7 in a row)
- The player under the basket starts when the dribbler starts.
- Coach goes further and further back.
- players start at the level of the middle line, 3 rows
- middle player has the ball
- Player blue passes to red and sprints to red for a close-out.
- Player red tries to get into the "paint" to score.
- Player blue is going to try to prevent this.
- Either blue can steal the ball
- point for blue
- Either red can score
- point for red
- After a possible goal is score, red takes rebound, passes to the next in line.
- Blue goes to the position of red.
The exercise now starts again with the next players.
