Basketball Drills

Two players (blue) with the ball start from the half way line. They're playing against Red 1 and Red 2. After the attackers have had their shot the 2 defenders must box out and claim the rebound. Once the drill is complete players rotate: Attackers become the new defenders, the defending pair leave the court and swap with a new pair who are the new attackers! Continue until every pair has had a go.

The player underneath the basket begins with a ball and tosses if off the backboard, simulating a rebound. They then pass to the point guard on the wing and sprints forward, while the player on the wing dribbles with quick feet through the cones. Once the player dribbling has reach the end of the cones, they will then pass to the player on the run for a lay up.

Player 4 passes to Player 3 Player 1 screens for 4 Player 4 then back cut off screen Player 3 then passes to Player 4 for a lay up

Coach has the ball. Players are moving as if in a game. Coach will toss ball on backboard. Defensive players must box out and rebound. Offensive players try to rebound and score.

Play 2 versus 2 at one basket. No dribbling allowed. Alternate possession. Play to eleven.

All players have a ball each. The catchers have to try and touch one of the players without bibs. If they succeed in doing so then that person has to stand still and put their ball on their head.

The coach or a teammate places the ball on the floor. Facing away from the basket, player 1 (attacker) stands in front of player 2 (defender). Player 1 then picks up the ball and attempts to get into position to shoot.

Pass the basketball off the wall and catch the ball in a quick stop. The coach will either say forward or reverse pivot. The player will pivot round 360 degrees so they are facing the wall again to make the next pass.

Set up: 2 balls, 2 lines of players behind hoop on baseline. Player drives around and out to recieve a pass from the opposite line and puts a shot up.  Ball gets passed to line on opposite side driven from.  Progression: Drive wider and shoot or lay up. 

The dribbler will use the ball screen, this situation the dribblers defender has gone under the screen. The dribbler is going to stop on top of the screen and shoot a jump shot.

All player start on line On the signal the players must move backwards and forwards over the line whilst maintaing the ball dribbling on the line.  

Both players will face each other 10 feet apart. They will roll the ball back and forth controlling the basketball with only 1 hand. The basketball should be rolled in a straight line and controlled with the hand the ball was rolled to.

Players pass the ball to the coach or a feeder just inside the key and run immediately after passing towards the basket. When they are in a prime shooting position they should stop, turn and prepare to recieve a return pass. As soon as the feeder sees the player is ready they should pass to the shooter who then attempts to score.

Set up two lines, one for the for the defending players (red) and the other for the attacking players (blue) who have one ball. When the coach blows their whistle both players run around their respective cones (shown in diagram). After the blue player has made their way around the cone another player in the offensive players' line passes the ball to them. After they've run round the cones players play out the 1 vs 1.

Players in a line about 5-10 ft away from each other. The 1st player with the ball will dribble weave in and out of every one in the line. Once they get back to their original spot they will pass the ball to the person behind them. The rule is that you must go around everyone to get back to your spot.

Player dribbles towards the basket, performs a spin dribble. He then continues to the middle of the court, performs a cross-over dribble, then dribbles to the elbow for a jump shot.
