The Three-Man weave: This is one of the most common ways in which coaches begin their practices. It is an excellent way of warming the players up, while at the same time having them work on their fundamentals. This drill helps develop a player’s ability to pass the ball sharply and efficiently while moving at high speeds; while the second part of the drill works on his ability to move quickly and effectively from offense to defense. Instructions: Have one player stand directly beneath the basket with the ball; have the two other players, one on each side, flank him, outside both three-point lines. SPACING IS KEY IN THIS DRILL. Have the player in the middle pass the ball to one of the other players’, and have him follow his pass. In other words, if the player in the middle throws to the player to his right, then, as the ball is in the air, he is running towards that player. The player who has caught the ball, meanwhile, is moving in a sharp diagonal line towards the center of the floor, as he passes the ball to the man on the opposite side of the floor, who is moving diagonally ahead of him. The player who was initially in the middle, has now moved behind the man he threw the ball to, while the man now throwing the ball will proceed to move behind the player that he has passed to. Ideally, the movements of the three players make a type of amoebic figure-eight as they move down the floor, constantly moving behind the player that they just passed to. At the other end of the floor, after the last player to catch the ball lays the ball into the basket. once that shot is taken they repeat that same sequence coming back the way they came from and after shooting at the other basket, the next group will then go and the previous group will join the back of the line and wait for their next go
