Basketball: Long pass and shoot

Player 1 passes to player 2. After passing player 1 sprints cross-court to the cone to try and screen player 3.

Player 3 needs to side-step and feint their way past player 1 before then running to the other side to receive the pass on the cone.

Player 3 then dribbles inside before passing to player 1 who has the shot.

Players on the left start with a ball each. Going one player at a time they dribble out into the centre of the court where they meet the defender.

The defender should prevent them from moving across the court.

Before they get within arm's reach of the defender the attacking player should drive into the key where they have a shot.

Split all your players into two teams and have them line up on opposite sides of the court.

2 basketballs are placed at mid-court.

Each player is given a number (eg. 1-5).

The coach will set out a basket that each team will shoot at.

The coach will call out a number.

When the number is called out, the corresponding number will run out to get the ball, dribble to the basket and keep shooting till the shot is made.

Once the shot is made the players will run after the ball and dribble it back to the center circle.

The first player to score and get the ball back to the center circle wins.

The player will jump off their inside leg and shoot with their outside hand. Once they have shot they will get the rebound and shoot with their other hand on the opposite side of the basket.
