Big man

Perhaps more than any other position on the team, the big man needs drills to perfect inside and post-up moves.

There are 31 basketball drills in this category, and the newest ones are listed first.

An effective face up shot performed by Kevin Garnett. Espescially effective against a bigger slower defender.

Above Your Head Drill

Start to the right or left of the hoop roughly one foot out from the backboard. Using the same hand as the side your standing on, perform a shot off the backboard, get the rebound (keeping the ball above your head) and then do the same on the other side. The rythm should be ‘Left, Right, Left, Right’ and so on, not ‘Left, Left, Right’ etc. For goal setting, a good target is to get 50 consecutive baskets. If you miss, start again!

The iron man

you need: – a passer from the wing – a man at the post – a line with three defenders

to begin you must inform the defenders in to guard the post in different ways(half front lt.or rt. full front or double team as one is help side position)the would enter one at a team.

the post need to get himself open while a defender is denying. he need to read the defends in order to know where he want the pass to be made. the wing passes the ball. the post then use a move (powerstep crosser ect.)

if the player make it he continue if not rotate.

Post Up Hook Shot

With your back to the basket, work your way to the center of the paint, up til about 10 feet from the rim.

For shooting with the right hand – fake a move to the left, with body and/or head fake. Then quickly spin left until at your left shoulder is at least pointing to the rim, however start bringing up the ball BEFORE spining to the basket with your right hand from your waist. Use your left arm to pin defender away as you extend your arm fully straight up, and flick the ball with your wrist into the basket.
So – Post up, get to middle of paint, fake to the opposite direction that your are going to shoot, bring the ball up and turn to the rim, extend and shoot.

Drop step drill

3 people start in the drill. 1 ball is placed at the first line above the block on one side and the same on the other block. One player starts as the post player while each of the other two players is assigned a ball to put back at the same spot after every shot. The player who starts as the post player jumps stops to the first ball, picks it up, chins the ball, checks inside, than makes a drop step move to score. The same thing is than done to other side. This continues for 30 seconds and than you switch spots with a team-mate. The next player goes through the same routine for thirty seconds. As the players get advanced, after they make the post move, he/she should jump quickly and touch the net before going to the next side. The post moves progress to up/under, jump hooks, and so on.
