Defensive Slide Drill or Defensive Triangle Drill

Players start underneath the basket and get in good defensive posture. They slide directly up the lane to half court. Once they reach half court, they drop step with the right leg and slide diagonally to the side line (foul line extended). Once they reach the side line, they slide on an even plane directly across they court to the opposite side line. Here we have them stop, do 10 finger tip pushups then resume a diagonal defensive slide back underneath the basket to the starting point.

Shell Drill Pressure Double - Teaming

I started using this drill after 4 months of practice. Before I had done the simple shell drill (box format and diamond format – 2-2 and 1-2-1) and my players had progressed a lot on defense, so much that I hadn’t lost a game and I felt we could make it better. I decided to introduce double-teaming.

Spider Drill

The drill starts out with one individual, either in the gym or driveway. He should imagine that all the other players are on the court. The player starts off guarding the ball. He should think that his man is driving on him and then shuffle his feet correctly. Next, his man just passed the ball away. He should then move into off-man, on-the-ball defense, in which he can stop the pass but be able to recover if there is a pass or a drive. The ball should be then swung to the opposite side of the court and the player should move into zone side help defense. Next, the defender should simulate that his man is cutting through the lane and he should stop his progress. The defender should then play correct post defense, including high and low side defense and moving around the man with correct footwork. The player should use his imagination to think off where the players are and when the passes are made. The drill should start off for a short time period, because the player will not be used to it, but after practicing for a while, the player should be able to do the drill for a couple of minutes straight. The purpose of the drill is not only to familiarize the player with how to play every defensive position, but also to increase his stamina on the defensive end.

Stinger Drill

Start with players in the corners of the baseline. Play starts with the ball at the foul line. The Coach rolls, passes, puts the ball down, or throws the ball upward toward the opposite goal and on the command ‘go’ players sprint toward the ball and play one -on -one at the basket. After the offense scores or the defense gets a rebound, the defense now becomes the offense and plays one-on-one coming back toward the goal at the starting point.

Taking the Charge

1-3 lines at half court. One player in middle of key. Coach calls out either 1,2, or 3, corresponding to a numbered line. As soon as a # has been called, first player in that line dribbles to the basket, taking it fast, hard, and strong. Player in key goes and touches key boundary line opposite of ball. Then, that player rushes to the other side of the key and assumes the ‘taking a charge’ position. (Important: To prevent injury, make sure the players have feet planted, good balance, and most of all, are protecting their groin area.) Finally, dribbler dribbles full speed at the defender. As soon as they make contact, defender falls to the ground on back side.
