Offense

Slovakian Hand-Eye Game Drill

This drill is a regular 5 on 5 scrimmage. The difference is that a second smaller ball is used. In addition each player must have their own basketball, and maintain their dribble constantly during the scrimmage. No player can participate in the action of the scrimmage without their ball and dribble.

The game of 5 on 5 can be played to 3, 5, 7, 9, or 11 baskets.

They are going to execute CURL if the defender of the screen trails the cutter; if the defender overplay or get out the screen in advance the cutter should go BACKDOOR; if the defender slide through the screen, the cutter will POPOUT; if the defender squeeze, the cutter should FADE in which he puts his hand on the screeners hip to signal fade.

Shot-Drive

This drill goes way back to my days at the city pool in Ellwood City Pa. We used to play a game off the low board called jump-dive.
Someone would stand at the side of the pool and as you made your spring they would yell either jump or dive. You then tried to do as was yelled. I have applied this drill to our shooting practice.
A coach or other player positions themselves under the basket and pass a ball out to another player. The shooter steps in to receive the pass in order to set for a jump shot. But as the head and shoulders go up the passer yells either shot or drive. The player with the ball has to carry out orders. The kids love it and the ability of our kids to use the head and shoulder fake has greatly increased.

Sartori or Kansas

This is a great drill that simulates pressure situations and late game situations when your team must pass and move without the ball effectively. Also a great way to simulate those must steal situations for your defense. It is amazing to watch your team learn to work together and communicate as the drill progresses.

Ready Shoot

This drill teaches a player to set the ball quickly to their ‘READY’ shooting position (the last point the ball is set prior to initiating the shooting motion), and to maintain a constant rhythm and motion even if the shooting rhythm is disturbed by a defender, or momentary pause to spot an open player.

Post shooting

This is a drill that helps the posts shoot under pressure. The shooting inside the paint is the skill that is being worked on. Most teams carry at least 4 post players but if you have more, place the extras around the three point line for passing.

No Foul- No Jump Ball

This is an excellent drill for teach players to play with their backs to the basket while, at the same time, working on offensive and defensive rebounding. This is a very intense drill that will really work your players. This is also a good drill for making players physical and getting them use to contact.

No Dribble Drill

This is a drill which, forces players to avoid the temptation to put the ball on the floor against a press defense. By not being allowed to put the ball on the floor, players are forced to catch the ball and look for a receiver that is open rather than dribble.

Post-up/mid-paint

Posting up has changed in the NBA and college game over the last five or so years. Instead of posting up on the blocks, we post up in the middle, two/three feet below the foul line. We feel the offense gains an advantage by having more options open to him.
