Ready Set Go! (ball handling)

DESCRIPTION

Prep: Set up the cones for the drill and give every player a basketball.

1) First, split the players into two groups. Outside or inside the basketball court (perferably outsude so people don't colide.) Set up the players according to the drill (one player at each cone.)

2) The first player in line (for both teams) will dribble to the blue cone directly ahead of them where the next player is standing without loosing your ball, if you loose your ball you start from the red cones.

3) The first player will then make a sharp, accurate chest pass to the player waiting at the cone. As soon as the player recieves the pass they will run to the next blue cone where another player stands waiting fo rthe same sharp, accurate chest pass. While the first player takes there spot at the first blue cone.

4) This repeats (player dribbles, passes, and then takes the other players spot.) Until The player at the hoop recieves the ball and they dribble to the hoop and aimes for the square right above the hoop and shooting with the finger roll shooting technique. If the player misses it's okay because this drill is focusing on ball HANDLING not shooting. 

5) After shooting the drill is done so the player will take their ball and walk to the back of their teams line (stay in your team so that the lines are the same size.)

COACHING POINTS

-While passing (in the thrid step) if the player doesn't give a proper chest pass (shoulders towards the target, at their chest not face or arm or leg.) they will be given a reminder to remember give a proper chest pass to the player.
-Once you arrive at the hoop players should follow through with a proper finger roll, and remind players who don't because that will help them be more successful in basketball.
-Remind players that the point of the drill is to practice ball HANDLING so don't focus on making a perfect shot or passing perfectly just try your best not to loose the ball.
