The player under the basket starts with the ball and grabs a self rebound before outletting to the right wing. The player on the opposite wing, meanwhile, sprints to the other end of the floor on their wing.
The right wing now passes long to hit the left wing in stride ready for an easy lay up. After passing, the right wing sprints to the cone opposite and runs to the original starting point.
The player that started the drill will sprint to the opposite end of the floor as soon as they have passed it, ready to grab the ball out of the net to begin the drill again, with the left winger now being on the left wing at the other end of the court, collecting a pass and playing a long pass to the player that started at right wing.
Ensure that players sprinting the length of the floor keep their heads up and keep focused, as they can potentially run into their team mates, or not be aware of where the ball is.
Four players standing still make every ball handler's job harder. Teach V-cuts, L-cuts and back cuts so your team gets open and punishes defenders who overplay.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
