Basketball: Run and Receive

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...
Cornel

DESCRIPTION

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.

COACHING POINTS

Players can either pass the ball back to the feeder and repeat this as a fitness drill or they can dribble into the key to have a shot.

Receive, Dodge and Shoot! | Advanced Ball Handling

Receive, Dodge and Shoot!:

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.

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!
