Basketball: 2 Balls - Catch and Pass Progression

Stand with your knees about shoulder-width apart and bend over slightly. With the ball in your right hand, pass it between your legs in a figure eight motion to your left hand. Swing the ball to the front and then pass it from your left hand back to your right hand through your legs. As with all ball handling drills, start slowly and increase your speed as you get more comfortable.

Pass the ball through your legs changing hands in the process.

Hand quickness and reaction drill. Have a wide stance, holding the ball with 1 hand in front and the other hand behind. You will let go of the ball and switch hand positions.  

Throw the ball out in front of yourself with a bit of back spin. Move to catch the ball at the top its bounce and then land with wide feet in a ready position - ready to pass or ready to push off and drive into a fast dribble!

Players take it in turns to run from the sideline to the centre, behind the chair, where they receive the pass from the feeder. Upon receiving the pass players must feint their way past the chair, dropping a shoulder and pretending to run one way, before pushing off from their outside foot and driving in the other direction. Once they've got past the chair players should have a shot on goal.

Players run from the corner of the court out to a cone which they must touch. After touching the cone players drive inside the other cone where they should then look up and prepare to receive and protect the pass.

Start with 5 players on court as attackers. Ball starts on half way. 3 players at top creating a triangle, 2 players under hoop. Player with the ball passes to the 'strong side' and stack.  Ball is passed around. Any player can put a shot up as long as the triangle is maintained.  Players still hold triangle formation around the key - this gives options on offence.   

Side-to-Side Dribble - Keeping the ball in one hand, bounce the ball from side to side. Repeat this using the other hand.

Stand 10 feet away from a wall. Start the drill off by making a 1 handed pass against the wall and catching it with your other hand. Once the ball in caught with your other hand, bounce the ball through your legs twice. After this make a 1 handed pass back to the original hand.

Stand with your legs spread apart; drop the ball in front of you. Now hit it with your right hand and then your left hand, then reach behind you and hit it with your right hand then left hand, then reach in front of you again and hit with your right hand then left hand, and then behind you again...

Players drive out to receive the pass, turn 360 degrees and then drive past the chair to have their shot.

Dribble 2 basketballs on the move.  When players reach a cone the ball on their outside goes behind their back and the other ball crosses over in front. Players then continue running to the next cone and repeating.

Players must shoot from a seated position. This will help players to focus on their upper body shooting technique.

Stand 1m to 2m away from the wall. Throw one ball against the wall for it to bounce back to the other hand. Catch the rebounding ball in the other hand having transferred the other ball to the throwing hand. Repeat.
