Basketball drills

Prerequisites:

• Bit of game insight at fill the spot, be able to apply defensive stance (denail - helpside)

Goal:

• Offence: quickly see where there is an empty spot and cut through after a pass, defence: adjust stance depending on how the ball moves

Organisation

• Four players (U10) on a spot with defence, empty spot under the ring.
• Offence: Pass the ball around and make a quick cutting move towards the empty spot below the ring, other attackers move up and the empty spot is filled in by the cutting attacker.
• Defence: adjust position according to the ball. (hands on the ball, denail, weakside help on the line ring-ring)
• Five passes (calmly), then 4vs4
• Passing on: offence becomes defence, defence steps out and then becomes offence.

Teaching points

• Offence: good pass - in/out to deep bucket and high exit - jump-to-the-ball - placement of feet - attention to running faults
• Defence: anticipate the ball - check correct posture per spot before passing.

• Player sprints from the corner baseline to the first post.
• At the first post a drop step and slides towards the second post.
• From the second post, backward defensive footwork to the third post.
• At the third pole a dropstep followed by slides to the fourth pole.
• You do this until you are back at the starting point.

• One row on the baseline/corner and one row in the center circle with ball.
