High Post Give-and-Go

Make 3 rows of players: row 1 at the basline about 6 feet right from the basket (looking from half court). Row 2 at half court about 3 feet left from the middle circle. And row 3 at halfcourt about 6 feet right from the middle circle.The players in row 3 have a ball (max. 2 balls in that row)

The first player of row 1 moves up to the top of the key and receives the ball from the first player in row three. The first player in row 2 cuts to the basket right of player 1, player 1 gives player 2 a pass. Player 2 makes the easy lay-up gets his own rebound and become a player in row 3. Player 3 becomes a player in row 1 and player 1 becomes a player in row 2.

Listen and Look.

This is an half-court drill beginning at mid-court using 3 lines of players – one line on each of the side-lines (lines A and C) and one in the centre (line B). If only 4 players are used 1 player should stand in each of the lines A and C and 2 players in line B. Each of the line A and C players face the basket. The first player in line B should stand with his/her back to the basket. The coach stands under the basket. The ball is with the second player in line B. As that player passes the the ball to the first player in line B the leading players from lines A and C begin sprinting to the basket.

Before there is any player or ball movement the coach must indicate (without the player standing with his/her back to both the coach and the basket seeing) which of the players from lines A or C is to call for the ball – the coach must also indicate if the ‘calling player’ is to have 1 or 2 hands extended.

The line B player pivots (after receiving the ball) towards the ‘calling player’ – but he/she should only pass the ball to that player if both hands are extended. If the ‘calling player’ only has 1 hand extended the passer then must go to the second option.

If the ‘calling player’ receives the pass he/she must complete the lay-up. If the second option is given the ball, all players should stop outside the key. The ball should be passed back to the player at the top of the key (player from line B) who then reverses to the ‘calling player’ for the outside jumpshot.

The best-positioned non-shooter rebounds the ball and returns it to the next line B player waiting at centre court.

All players return to the centre lines – shifting to the next line.

The Mover

Play basketball without dribbling! This drill teaches all 5 offensive players to move and get open, beat a press without dribbling, as well as, teaching the defense how to play man-to-man defense! If a person dribbles the ball, it’s a violation! The drill can be very exhausting! So don’t expect the players to make a whole game out of this drill! 5-10 mines and then switch to normal play. Notice if the players go back to letting the 2 best ball handlers break the press alone, or if they help! Many players feel they should just go to their assigned positions and rely too much on the guards to do the work! Try it! Let me know what you think!

The Wall

This is a drill I used often at Princeton to make the team work together as a defensive unit. It also helps the offensive player rely on his own skills in case he gets in a situation during a game in which he needs to dig himself out of a hole.

ONE-ON-ONE SPOT DRILL

• player 1 has the ball and stands directly beneath the basket. player 2 stands between player 1 and the basket.
• player 1 dribbles to any spot on the floor, but not further away form the basket than three-point range.
• player 1 sets the ball down and gets into a defensive stance.
• player 2 follows player 1, picks up the ball, and gets into a triple threat position.
• The two players play one-on-one until player 2 scores or until player 1 stops her. If player 1 fouls player 2, player 2 retains posession of the ball. The offensive player is permitted only three dribbles.
• Play continues until a player scores eleven points, with each basket counting as one point.
• The two players reverse positions and repeat steps 1-6.
