Hi Bhawi,

The three-man weave is a fundamental basketball drill that helps players practice ball-handling, passing, and teamwork. In this drill, players form a line and move up and down the court while passing the ball to each other in a weaving pattern. Let's break down the positioning of players A, B, and C in the three-man weave:

Initial Setup:

  • Players A, B, and C start in a straight line perpendicular to the baseline, facing the court.
  • Player A has the basketball.

Player A's Movement:

  • Player A dribbles the ball diagonally across the court towards the free-throw line extended.
  • After reaching the free-throw line extended, Player A passes the ball to Player B and then follows the pass.

Player B's Movement:

  • Player B receives the pass from Player A.
  • After receiving the pass, Player B dribbles diagonally across the court towards the opposite free-throw line extended.
  • Once at the free-throw line extended, Player B passes the ball to Player C and then follows the pass.

Player C's Movement:

  • Player C receives the pass from Player B.
  • After receiving the pass, Player C dribbles diagonally across the court towards the original side's free-throw line extended.
  • Player C passes the ball to Player A and then follows the pass.

Repeat the Pattern:

  • The pattern continues with players passing and weaving up and down the court.
  • Players should focus on crisp passes, maintaining good spacing, and keeping a steady pace.

Variations:

  • Coaches may introduce variations, such as adding a specific type of pass (e.g., bounce pass or overhead pass) or incorporating a layup at the end of the weave.

The three-man weave is an excellent drill for improving passing accuracy, ball control, and conditioning. It also enhances communication among teammates as they coordinate their movements and passes. Players should pay attention to maintaining a proper distance from each other to avoid collisions and ensure a smooth execution of the drill.

Hope this helps.
