Basketball: Cross Over Relay

Great tool for bringing focus to practices. Began using it last year...

Eric, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Same principle as normal relays, but now the players have to run across avoiding the other team. If this goes well, introduce another 1 or 2 balls in each team.
IMPORTANT that all players keep head up and do not run too fast.

COACHING POINTS

Keep head up.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Cross Over Relays:

4 teams of two players on each cone. One ball per team.

The 1st player in each team has to dribble around the outside of the inside square back to their starting cone to give the ball to the next player.

Dribbling Relay

Dribble Relay:

Split the group into equal teams. Set the cones up as shown in the diagram.

On the whistle players dribble around the cones, when they reach the end the dribble straight back to the end of the queue.

The player then has to roll the ball through the legs of their team to the person at the front of the queue.

Dribbling Relay

Cat and Mouse:

Set up two wide cones with 2 teams facing each other.

Both teams are going in the same direction around the cones.

The goal is to catch up with the other team to tag or over take them. The team that does this is the winner.

Each player will complete a full circle around both cones before passing to the next player.

Games

Dribble Weave Game:

Players in a line about 5-10 ft away from each other.

The 1st player with the ball will dribble weave in and out of every one in the line. Once they get back to their original spot they will pass the ball to the person behind them.

The rule is that you must go around everyone to get back to your spot.
