Basketball: Rebound, Outlet and Squaring

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

Eric, Coach

DESCRIPTION

One player with the ball, facing the backboard. On the command the player rebounds the ball off the backboard and then passes to player 2 before running to the three point line. Once they get there they stop, pivot to face the basket, do a v-cut to the near side and accelerate towards the basket to receive a pass from Player 2. The player that passes the ball goes in for the rebound.

Player 1 passes to player 2 who makes a run towards where they have just passed it before making a "V Cut" into the space. All players repeat this process to keep the practice rotating.

Footwork and Movement

Screen - Cutter Drill:

Setup the practice as shown.

Players 1 and 3 dribble towards the wing, with player 4 setting a lateral screen for player 2. Player 2 comes off the screen and receives a pass from player 3 for a shot. Player 4 cuts to the ball and receives a pass from player 1 for a shot.

Shooting

Three man switch to shoot and score:

Player 1 starts with the ball in the middle of the court and plays the ball to player 2 who cuts in to the first cone.

Player 2 must then pass to player 3 who has also made a run inside to the other cone further up the court.

Player 1 in the meantime should loop on the outside behind player 2 to receive the ball back from player 3 and take a shot.

Shooting
