Basketball: Turn and Face Move

As someone who is new to coaching this site was just what I needed,...

Phil

DESCRIPTION

Players line up around the edge of the 3 point line with a defender behind each of them. Each of the attackers has a ball with their back to the basket. The coach calls out one of the defenders names and they tap the attacker in front of them on the shoulder.

The attacker turns to face the defender and they play a 1 v 1. The attacker has only 3 dribbles, whilst the defender has to try and either stop the dribble, box out or close the baseline.

COACHING POINTS

Teach sound fundamentals of the move (turn and face).

Attacker learn to try and read the defenders moves.

Pass then Pressure:

Players line up opposite each other. Player 1 passes to Player 2 and then follows their pass to put pressure on the attacker.

The attacker has to go around the cone on either their left or right before passing the ball back to next person waiting in the queue.

The player waiting in the queue then throws the ball back to player 2 before the drill can start again.

1 v 1

One-Two Pass - Take your man on:

Players Blue 1 and Red 1 have a ball each and they are starting from the right hand corners either end of the court. Green players 1 & 2 stand on the elbow of the free throw line.

Red player 1 and Blue player 1 start dribbling when they get level with the 3 point line they must do a long pass to the green players before running to receive the ball back. They then play 1 v 1, with the rules being only 3 dribbles and 1 shot.

1 v 1

Running one vs one:

Split your players into 3 groups. The middle players (in green) start the practice by throwing the ball off the backboard and then scoring the rebound.

The rebounder then passes the ball to blue player 1 who then runs the length of the court to try and score. Red player 1 will run up the court at the same time as them and try to prevent them from scoring in a one vs one.

1 v 1

2 Minute 1 v 1:

The coach has the ball at the top. White player 1 is playing for 2 mins against 2 defenders. The practice starts with white player 1 getting free from his defender before receiving a pass from the coach, and going 1 v 1 with the defender.

Once the game is over the attacker runs to the other side before repeating the practice.
