Basketball: Keep ball - 4 vs 1

Kashif, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Two grids of equal size both with 4 players inside.

One team starts with the ball and passes it around inside their area, trying to keep possession.

In order to steal the ball and get the ball for their team one player from the other grid is allowed to enter the opposition team's grid and chase down the ball.

When they win the ball the player plays an unopposed pass into their grid, follows their pass and then the exercise starts again.

COACHING POINTS

Players should move from where they are stood rather than remaining completely static (taking one or two steps to the side) in order to make themselves 'open' for the pass.

Players must remain in their corner to begin with and only once players become more competent can they move freely within the area to play a free-for-all 4 vs 1.

In and Out - V-Cut:

3 players work with one ball between them inside a quarter of the court.

In the middle of the half of area is a cone. Player 1, with the ball in hand, starts on one of the corners of the grid and passes to player 2 after they have run inside the area, touched the cone, and then run outside into open space to receive the pass.

Player 2 then passes to player 3 and the drill continues.

Passing

Run out to receive, pivot, pass and run:

Player 3 runs to the middle of the line before receiving a pass from player 1. On receiving the ball they pivot and pass the ball to player 4 before running to join the end of the queue.

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.
