Basketball: Speed crabs

Cones will be set up as shown in the video. Two players will be competing against each other.

On the coach's whistle the players must touch each cone 5 times. Once they have done that it is the 1st player to grab the cone in the middle.

Set out cones to split the court in half, with your players working in pairs.

The player with the ball should dribble the ball up the court in a Zig Zag pattern.

The second player will be playing passive defence. They should be in front of the attacker at all times but are not actively trying to steal the ball.

The defensive player must try to cut the dribbler off at each of the the lines (cones and touchline) using their outside foot so that the dribbler has to change direction.

They continue to do this until they reach the end of the court at which point players then switch roles and repeat the drill in the opposite direction.

The players will pair up with one offensive player and one defensive player.

The offensive player will dribble from cone to cone. The defensive player will keep their head in line with the ball using a defensive slide.

Once they come to the end of the cones the players will go back to the start and the offence and defence will switch over.

Players and cones will be set up as shown in video clip.

One offensive and one defensive player. The offence will dribble through the cones with the defence sliding keeping their head in line with the ball. Once they have gone through all the cones, the defensive player will retreat.

The offensive player will dribble to 15 foot away from the basket and shoot the ball.

The defensive player will contest the shot and then box out to get the rebound.
