Basketball Drills

3 players in key, coach bounces ball in. Everyone is competing for the ball.  Player who gets a shot in returns to the line and another player comes in. It is continuous play.

Players play a 4 on 2 passing game within the grid area. When defending wins the ball 2 whites move out of the area and another two move into play a 4 v 2 again.

Play 4 versus 4 at one basket with the following rules: No Dribbling Pass and screen or pass and cut Make it - take it First team to 7 wins

Player 1 will pass the ball to player 2. Player 1 will cut around the cone and down towards the next cone where they will receive the ball from player 2. Once the ball has been received, player 1 will dribble towards the baseline and shoot. The players will then switch lines.

Player one passes the ball so that it reaches player 2's hands as they run out. Once the first pass has been made player 1 runs down the wing looking to receive the return pass before cutting in court to enter the key and have a shot.

Split the group in two at opposite corners of the court. Setup as show. Players run to the half way line, make a turn and then receive the ball from the opposite corner before having a shot from roughly the free throw line. Once the player has had a shot they collect their ball and run to join the queue.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 and follows their pass. When they are just over half way towards player 2 they then make a sharp change of direction and cut out, running hard towards the cone where they will receive the return pass. After receiving the ball player 1 should try and shoot as quickly as possible from outside the key, before then collecting the ball and playing an outlet pass to player 2 who has moved wide to receive the ball.

Have a chair set up about 18-20 feet away from the basket. You can set the chair up on either side of the court. The purpose of the drill is to teach players to go at speed, beat their defender with a dribble move then go into a shot.

Both Players outside the 3 point line start dribbling with the ball towards the outside court. Players . 2 and 4 run towarsds each other on meeting they both run of the pretend screen/defender and make them selves available to recieve the ball ( keeping receiving hand up as a target) Player dribbling looks up and as soon as the player is available passes the ball. Receiving playersd take a shot and sollect the rebound to pass the ball back to the next two player by the 3 point line.

Setup as shown. One player starts out to the left. Player 1 passes to player 3 before making a run towards the basket before cutting back to receive the ball and pivoting to shoot.

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.

1 passes to 2. p1 v-cut and replace yourself. 2 pass back to 1. 2 & 3 back cut. 1 pass to 2 or 3. Rebound & rotate anti-clockwise.

2 lines on the baseline, with the coach in the middle.The coach will roll the ball down the middle of the court. Both players will run and dive on the ball. The player that gets the ball is on offence and the other player on defence. They will attack the basket from the side they came from. First player to score wins.

Player 1 starts the move by passing the ball to player 2. Just as the first pass is being made player 3 runs diagonally in court in preparation to receive the ball from player 2. Player 2 passes the ball to player 3 who has a shot from the edge of the key. Meanwhile player 1 should have run up court and is positioned ready to receive the rebound if player 3's shot misses.

White 2 gets in space to recieve a pass from White 1 Upon receiving ball White 1 has three bounces and five seconds to try to score. Alternate possession between players. The winner is the first to 5. Blue 2 will pass to white 3 when they get open.

Players line up around the edge of the 3 point line with a defender behind each of them. Each of the attackers has a ball with their back to the basket. The coach calls out one of the defenders names and they tap the attacker in front of them on the shoulder. The attacker turns to face the defender and they play a 1 v 1. The attacker has only 3 dribbles, whilst the defender has to try and either stop the dribble, box out or close the baseline.
