Basketball drills for technique warming-up

Players start at the bottom of the ring in 2 lines.

1) On the right side of the ring, players make a zig-zag run with the ball, changing direction at each cone (cross, behind the back, through the legs and spin move).

• Once at the center line, the player dribbles with the left hand towards the cones #1 here you do a backup dribble and go with a cross-over past the cones and finish with a lay-up.

2) On the left side of the ring, players do a short/explosive zig-zag and sprint from the last pawn to the center line.

• Once at the center line, they dribble right-handed to cones #2, here they do a backup dribble and crossover past the cones and finish with lay-up.

• At cones #1 and #2 you can vary with crossover, behind the back, through the legs and spin move
• Finish with lay-up or short distance shot
  
  

• The players start from one side of the ring with a zig-zag stepslide to the centre line.
• From the cone at the half way line, they sprint to the goal, receive the pass and finish with a lay-up.
• After the lay-up the players take their own rebound and take the place of the passer.
• With enough players this exercise can also be done on a full court.
