This is an excellent drill to teach post players how to shape up in the low post, and how to effectively rebound and go back up strong in the lower half of the key.

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.

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.

This drill helped my team gain confidence in their ability to break a full court press.
It teaches the players to pass through a zone press, how to pivot away from pressure,
not to lose their composure.

Helps players move without the ball and catching and shooting. It’s a basic pass and catch drill. Passes should be crisp just like a game pass. Shooting around the perimeter or as post shots depending on the player’s abilities.

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.

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.
