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 in a row on the free throw line or for U10 and U12 a bit closer to the basket (put down pilons).
• First two players have a ball.
• Player 1 tries to shoot. 
• When the ball is thrown, player 2 may also shoot.
• If the player misses, go for the rebound as fast as possible, try to score from the area where the rebound is picked up (if it is behind the baseline, dribble in a bit).
• If player 2 scores before player 1, player 1 is finished and is not allowed to play again.
• After a goal is scored, pass as soon as possible to player 3 plays so that he can 'kill' his predecessor.
• Connect yourself at the back of the row.
• Play on until there is 1 player left. 
• Note that the player who has to be played has to get out at the right side to be able to play. And that the scorer rebounds the ball as fast as possible and plays it back with a good tight pass.
