Basketball drills
- 1 side forwards/guard
- 1 side centers
Advantages 2-1-2 zone:
- strong under the board and at the free throw line
- good fast break possibilities at the moment of the shot
- against good centers and inside teams
- great rebound positions, as the spots in front of the defensive triangle are already taken in advance
Disadvantages 2-1-2 zone:
- vulnerable on the weak side to the end line and center in front of the free throw line
- shooters from close or half distance
Advantages 3-2 zone:
- strength lies in the mobility of the front line, which the opponent must attack aggressively; possibly double-teaming
- shooting from outside the bucket is difficult against this zone
- opportunities for organized fast break
- very useful against inexperienced and technically weak teams
Disadvantages 3-2 zone:
- weak between the two lines and in the corners
- rebound positions can often be less well occupied
- overloading in the corner/side areas is dangerously weak against a good center
- 2 teams
- 3 on 3 full court
- one shot or turnover
- when the ball is lost or scored the team on offence steps out and walks back to their defensive side
Players in two lines in the middle of the court:
- Player 1 runs without the ball to the top of the key
- Receives a pass from player 2 in the other line
- Performs a first step (sidestep, cross over step, spin, etc.)
- Drives to the basket
Player 2 does the same on the other side of the court.
- Players start in four rows.
- Players 1 and 2 pass to players 3 and 4.
- Players cross to the opposite elbow to receive the ball for a shot.
- The passers get the rebound and move to the end of the top rows.
- The shooters move to the end of the corner rows.
- Starting lineup:
- Use an entire field
- 1 player near the center line (left)
- 1 player at the center line (right)
- Group of players in line with the free throw line (one side of the court)
- Group of players at the extension of the free throw line (other side terrain)
- Progression:
- Players at the center line start their lay-up
- After the lay-up, they take their own rebound and give an outlet pass to the waiting player on the sideline
- Then they join the sideline, at the level of the free throw line
- Lay-up, bob cousy, power lay-up, lay-back, jump stop
- Progression:
- Change of direction at the level of the three-point line
- Crossover, behind the back, reverse dribble at the center line
- Coach defends, attacker adjusts
- Stepping towards the ball instead of running forward
- Retrieve ball in the middle and from there dribble and lay-up through the middle
- Add 2 players defending passively at the three-point line
- Add 2 players actively defending at the three-point line
- 2 players defending actively
- Regression:
- Taking shot instead of lay-up
- 2 teams.
- Half court
- Ball is in the middle of the Bucket.
- The defenders stand with their heels on the edge of the Bucket and the attackers stand behind the three-point line.
- When the coach calls "Go," the defenders provide good close out and the attackers go out of their way to get the ball.
- If the attackers manage to grab the ball within 5 seconds the defending side must do 5 push ups.
- After 5 turns of attack/defense.
- Run layups from the baseline.
- One side catches the ball and the other side makes a layup.
- Different variations over left and right:
- Standard Lay-up over left and right.
- Lay-up with pass over left and right.
- Power lay-up over left and right.
- Get under the board and finish over left and right.
- Catch and Shoot.
All variations 15 hit over each side.
- The players of the offensive side all make a board pass.
- The last one gives an outlet pass to the pointgeard.
- There are 3 defenders on the attacking side.
- 2 defenders stand on the sideline near the center line, as soon as the last attacker crosses the center line they may join the defense.
- If the attacking team scores, the defending team makes board passes and attacks.
- If the attacking side does not score then 10 push ups for the attacking side.
- Blue passes the ball against the board and grabs the rebound and then attempts an outlet pass to Red.
- White tries to prevent the outlet pass.
- After a successful outlet pass, Red passes the ball to Orange.
Rollover:
- Orange becomes Blue
- Blue becomes White
- White becomes Red
- Red becomes Orange
- Make pairs.
- Player under the basket passes to the player on the free-throw line.
- The attacker has an advantage in time and can shoot freely.
- If the attacker scores or he has the offensive rebound he stays shooter, if the defender has the rebound the players switch positions.
- Who has the most scores after 3 minutes?
- Losers 10 push ups
- 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 :)
