1 vs 1 Offence (Posting up)

DESCRIPTION

In this drill we are going to be running some 1vs1 specifically relating to posting up in the paint. This drill is specific to more of the larger player e.g. Power Forwards, Centres. However this can be used by any player. This drill we are going to be running different defence scenarios and making the player decide on what move or skill they choose to use to ensure the success of the shot. The three ones that I want to particularly focus on is driving the baseline, stepping back, or muscling under the rim. The player is going to start in between the green cones. The coach will then proceed to roll the ball to the opponent and play defence. As the coach we are going to be applying different intensities of defence and making the player find a way to score using the three methods above. This will be repeated on both sides of the court to ensure that the player is comfrotable on both sides of the court.

Regression: Removing the defence and the ball and focusing on the footwork and techniques so the player becomes comfortable with the movements. For example with the step back focusing on creating space then the technique of stepping back and having the placement of the feet right to ensure a smoother shot.

Progression: Applying a shot clock timer to the exercise to focus on in game pressure to ensure the person can apply the movemnts in an in game situation.

COACHING POINTS

In this drill where going to work on:

Finsihing at the rim

Posting

Footwork

Strength

Shooting

Some key points I want to focus on will be dependant on the sklill they decide to use. 

Driving the baseline: Muscling the defender around the post and trying to get that inside shoulder in front of the defender to clear room to drive to the hoop and pushing the defender further away from the hoop into a bad postion where they are more likely to foul.

Stepping back: Muscling the defender to create space before stepping back. focusing on whether they have created enough space between them and the defender, making sure the footwork is there to make sure there not off balance when taking the shot, making sure they do not rush the shot.

Muscling to the rim: if they are finding the defender easy to move around in the post muscllng them all the way until they are right under the ring ensuring that the player doesnt over commit to the shoulder and making sure they dont travel too far so that they end up under the ring making the shot near impossible.
