Basketball: Pass and to the circle - shot relay

The attacker draws the defender to steal the ball. As the defender commits to the steal, the attacker steps away from the defender and drives forward

Players are lined up on the baseline. The coach will be on the other side of the court. When the whistle is blown the players will start to jog. When the whistle is blown again the players will perform a quick stop to simulate them catching the ball in triple threat ready to shoot. This is continued to the other end of the court.

Blue 1 moves to the middle to receive a pass from red 1, as they catch the ball they must land with either a jump stop or a stride stop. Blue 1 then pivots on the correct foot to face the line they came from. They then pass to the next player in line. Blue 1 then pivots again to face where the pass came from and runs to join the back of that line. The drill is then repeated. Ensure the players catch the ball in the air. Younger and inexperienced players tend to catch the ball then perform a jump/stride stop. The player in the middle must perform a pivot with the ball. If they land with a stride stop they must not move the foot that landed first.

Player 2 runs to the furthest cone before running back to the next cone. They then run forward to receive a pass from player 1 before turning and shooting.

Players run around, avoiding the hoops on the floor. When they hear the whistle they must perform a stride stop (this is where their first foot lands inside the hoop and second outside). The foot inside the hoop is not allowed to move. The player must then pivot on their standing leg before then jogging off in another direction. When players hear two whistles they must jump stop, landing inside a hoop with both feet together. Player then select their pivot foot, moving the non-pivoting foot out of the hoop in order to pivot and change direction.

Player 1 starts with the ball and waits for Player 3 to lose their marker (player 2 in this case) before passing the ball to them. Player 1 then goes into become the defender and Players 4 and 5 are the attackers.

Three players (1 defender and 2 attackers). Player 1 runs towards the defender before making an S-Cut and receiving the ball from Player 3. Player 1 then turns and shoots before colecting the rebound and throwing it to player 5. Player 3 then goes into be the defender, with players 4 and five as the attackers.

This is a pass and run to the back of the opposite line drill, with a v-cut movement before the pass. Player 1 starts in the triple threat position whilst 2 makes a v cut. Player 1 then passes the ball to player 2. Player 2 fakes a pass to player 1 who now cuts towards the basket. Player 3 (stood behind player 1) now v-cuts to the front of their line. Player 2 passes the ball to player 3. Player 4 (stood behind player 2) makes a v-cut to the front of their line. Player 3 passes the ball to player 4.

Setup as shown. The defender is only allowed to move up and down the line as shown. The attacker can move anyway within the box to try and catch the ball.

The offensive player will come from the opposite side of the lane to post up on the block on the ball side of the court. To get around the defensive player the offensive player will lift their arm over and step around the defensive player. Once the offensive player is in front they will have a very wide stance, showing a hand target where they want to receive the basketball.

Player 1 makes a pass to player 2 before sprinting to receive the pass back from player 2. Player 1 then has a shot.

Player 1 passes to player 2 (can be the coach) before making a run and then cutting to the next cone to receive the pass. Player 1 then dribbles to the next cone before having a shot.

Player 2 makes an L shaped cut and then sprints to receive the ball from player 1, who then catches the ball, pivots and shoots.

The player will flash up to the high post. From the high post the player will square up to the basket, sweep the ball to the left side and attack 1 bounce to finish with a left hand lay-up.

Do not take steps forward toward the defender.

Setup players as shown. Player 1 starts with the ball and player 2 makes a run before making a L cut towards him before receiving the pass. On receipt of the pass player 2 then dribbles to the cone before making a jump shot.

Player 1 dribbles from corner to the top of the 3pt line. Pass to player 2 who dribbles towards the corner. Player 1 now makes an L cut to basket and receives pass from player 2 for the shot.

L-Cut describes the run the attacking player makes before recieving the pass
