Celtic Drill

Two Players © are on the half court line, on the left and right side of the jump circle. Two players (A) with the balls are standing under the two baskets. The rest players (B and D) are in the 4 corners of the full court. The both players with the ball start at the same time.

Instructions

  • The first pass goes to the next player (B)in the right corner. After his pass he’s running to the other side and gets the ball back from player (B). The passer (B) runs to the next spot at the half court line.
  • Then he (A) passes to the player © at the half court line and receives the ball back. The passer © runs to the next spot at the corner.
  • Then he (A) passes to the player (D) in the right corner, gets his ball back and makes a lay-up. After his lay-up he runs in the left corner.
  • Player (D) makes the rebound and it starts new.

Variations

  • Say the type of passes: Chest, bounce, overhead or the player must make one dribbling before he passes.
  • Good players should make speed changes, that means, after the pass he increases his speed (important for hard cuts).
  • It’s possible to make this drill with more than two baskets. Of course, you must have more players. I’ve done this drill with 7 balls at the same time yet.

Tips

  • Use this drill for warm-up, start slow and go for quicker passes and runs.
  • You can also say, that the players have to make at example 50 baskets in 3 minutes or more or less. So use this drill for speed drills after stretching.
