Set up 4 lines of players, with a line in each corner of the court.
Players will play 2v2. Once a shot has been taken the ball is passed to the next pair of players and the previous attacking pair must sprint back to play defence into the 2v2.
A continuous drill. The coach can keep score if they wish too.
A continuous drill. The coach can keep score if they wish too.
The trick to keeping this drill continuous is to ensure there is always an extra two players waiting at each end.
As soon as the attack for one pair is completed (after a shot or a miss) the ball should be passed to the waiting pair and the previous attacking pair must turn and now play defence.
The defenders from the previous go now sit out behind the baseline and wait for their turn to play again.
Key points to focus on:
Talent wins games, but chemistry wins championships. Building a positive team culture, establishing shared values, and developing trust creates teams that exceed the sum of their parts.
Getting to the rim is only half the battle. Converting against shot blockers and help defenders requires a toolkit of creative finishes. The best scorers have multiple ways to score at the basket.
Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
