Working in a circuit, players take lay-ups from alternate elbows.
After making the shot players should collect their own rebounds and then dribble to the other end to make their next shot.
Work in this way for 30 second intervals.
Drive towards the basket and when you're ready to shoot place your weight on to your front leg (the opposite to your shooting arm - so for right-handers this will be your left leg).
Take off from this foot, pushing hard and keep both hands on the ball until the last moment.
Release the ball and aim for the top corner of the rectangle, aiming to score off the back board.
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.
