Basketball drills

• The children stand in a large circle.
• There are several basketballs in the game.
• The children with the ball bounce the ball as fast as possible to a classmate or group member, while calling his or her name.
• This is recommended for children's camps (great outdoors!) or sports days, where children can learn each other's names and learn to catch the ball.
• Players who do not bounce the ball well, do not catch the ball or call out the wrong name, step out of the circle and do not participate for a while.
• As fewer and fewer players remain, the remaining players bounce more and more balls.
• Continue, until only one or two players remain.
• They have won.

• Place a row of cones and give each child its own basketball.
• The children are challenged to dribble around the cones.
• They are not allowed to hit the cones and they are not allowed to lose their ball.
• The children follow each other quietly. The pace is gradually increased.
• When the children get more ball control, put another row of cones parallel to the first row.
• Let the children play a game: the first one who manages to dribble around the cones without a fault has won.
• Let the winners play against each other, until only one winner remains.
• A good basketball exercise for more ball control.

• Half of the basketball players have a ball.
• These basketball players dribble all over the room.
• On the whistle they pass the ball to someone they first made eye contact with.
• The pass they use to do so is up to them.
• Choose the pass that is best in the situation.
• If you are close to the ball, do not pass.

Teaching points

• defender takes the charge or forces the dribbler to the side of the pitch

This drill will help develop proper passing and shooting techniques. This drill also emphasizes communication between teammates

1. Divide the team into four squads. One team on each block and one team on each elbow. Give each team one ball.
2. The first person in each line shoots and follows his shot, passing it back to the next person in his line.
3. After rebounding the ball, the shooter returns the ball to the line they were in and rotates clockwise to the end of the next spot. Rotations are shown in the diagram.
4. All four lines work as a team and keep track of the total number of shots scored.

• Emphasize to the players that communication is very important in this drill.
• Players must make game-winning passes and their shots must also be taken at game level.
• The time limit of this exercise can be changed from five minutes to whatever you like or number of shots scored
• Also the spots on the court where the players shoot from can be varied

• Players start at the bottom of the baseline.
  • The red cones are sprint.
  • The green cones are step-slide.
• Then we either take the ball on the right side of the court or the left side.
• We start with the ball on the right side anyway.
• Do a lay-up, then lay the ball down on the left side of the court and sprint to the end line,
• and then start again,
• now laying down on the left side of the court, taking the ball there
• and then do a shot on the left side of the court,
• rebound and
• put the ball on the right side of the court
• and do the round again with the right side
• and then lay up there again.
• This exercise we repeat first round 3x, 15'' rest, 5x 30'' rest, 7x 45'' rest, 5x 30'' rest and finish again with 3x

End of exercise.

We keep on walking and don't walk. Rest period is provided between drills.

• One person shoots free throws.
• Two other players stand behind the one who throws the free throw.
  • According to the rules of the game
• Once the ball is gone the three players go for the rebound.
• If the person who made the free throw has the ball, he can make another free throw.
• If he doesn't have the ball, the 2 other players go to the other side of the court to attack, 2 against 1.
• If attacker is pressured by defender then go to free man, otherwise keep going until lay-up.
• The next three players get ready to execute the exercise.
