Skills for Points

Players perform skills for points. Example 10 players or 5 pairs execute elbow to elbow jumpers. Coach sets limit of 10 makes per man, 20 as a pair. Team that finishes first calls out 4 and receive 4 points. 2nd place calls 3 etc. Last place team receives no points.

Instructions

Post moves, Shooting, Shooting off dribble, Rebounds and Put-backs, Drives to basket, are some ideas. Coach decides which skills he wants to highlight

Variations

  • Have players perform drill but add free throw requirement.
    Example. 10 drop steps baseline 5 left 5 right. Make a ball fake (Show+go). Ball must be bounce passed into post by your partner. 10 makes each. Then go to FT line and shoot series of 2 each. 6 out +2 for a miss. Coach decides +2 on odd or even miss before drill starts

Tips

  • The points must be written so the players can see who is winning. It gets pretty competitive. This is a good drill for active regeneration after a game or to sharpen up a bit before a game.
