Basketball: Fast Break and Lay Up

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

Cornel

DESCRIPTION

The idea of this drill is to develop the fast break, with one player dribbling down the middle of the court and the other 2 players acting as outlet players each side.

The the ball starts in the middle. This player (1) passes to the outlet player on their right (2). The player with the ball (2) then dribbles directly down the middle of the court. The player that passed (1) the ball then sprints down the right side of the court. The player who dribbled the ball (2) will then pass to this player (1) so they can make a lay up.

Once the shot has been taken the passer (2) should get the rebound and outlet to the player who made the shot (1).

OFTEN USED WITH...

Fast Hands 1, 2, 3:

Players stand in a triangle shape, with one player at the top and then three others standing opposite.

Passing in order each player passes the ball to the player at the top of the circle who must pass the ball back using the same passing technique as was used to pass the ball to them.

As soon as the ball is passed back the next player can pass back.

Repeat twice then change over.

Passing

Floated Pass:

Get players into pairs.

The first pass has to go straight and is thrown into the air for the person on the other side to sprint across and retrieve. The passer runs across to the other side and receives a diagonal pass. On receiving the pass no.1 gives a straight floated pass.

Passing

Full court passing and dribbling:

Players are stood in each corner of the court with two players stood in the center circle. On the coach's signal players 1 and 2 start dribbling before passing to players 3 and 4 respectively who return the pass.

Players 1 and 2 then dribble further before passing to players 5 and 6 and moving towards the elbow of the free throw line to receive the return pass from players 5 and 6. They then immediately pass to the players 7 and 8.

Players 1 and 2 should now replace players 5 and 6.
