To get players switched on mentally and physically warmed up we start with this simple pass and follow drill.
Players stand in a star shape with one ball to start with. Player with the ball starts off with passing to another player and must follow their pass.
Players must call name before making the pass and the player receiving the ball must be on their toes alert to come towards the ball and pass off straight away.
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.
