Player starts jumping between legs coach then yells ‘EXPLODE’ player then comes off of between legs dribble and explodes to basket for layup. Make sure player stays LOW and EXPLODES. Do five lay-ups on each side of floor. Then make them pull up for the ‘J’.

Line Basketball

This is a team favorite for years, and is good for any age players. The players are able to practice offensive and defensive skills, and helps them to dribble while keeping their eyes up and seeing the floor. It is a great drill to build up ‘intensity’. most of all, it is FUN!!!

Side Court One Player Basketball

Find a basketball court with baskets on the side. The length of a real court is too long.

Player shoots, rebounds (only once) if necessary and shots again. If player scores on either attempt, they score two. If they miss, a make believe competitor scores two.

Play game to one hundred. Player keeps score in head while playing. When shots are made beyond three point line, score three.

When player gets to one hundreds before fake competitor, player wins. When player win consistently, they are improving their shooting, rebounding and dribbling skills as well as conditioning as player runs from basket to basket across the half court.

In this game, player does not play defense.

Tag Drill

This is a full court pairs drill. One defender (who is IT) stands on the free throw line in the backcourt with their back to the nearest basket. The offensive player stands on the baseline under the basket. On a coaches whistle the offensive player attempts to run at any speed or with any strategy to the opposite endline without being ‘tagged’ by the defender. If they are are tagged, they must then attempt to ‘retag’ the player. The player who is ‘NOT IT’ is the one attempting to get across the far baseline without being ‘TAGGED’. This is a simple, but tremendous footwork and balance drill which your players, especially the younger one’s will enjoy.

The Count von Count

The purpose of this drill is to enhance each player’s dribbling ability. Many players, especially young and/or tall ones, lack a good ball handling and dribbling control when forced to keep the head up and the eyes off the ball. The drill takes only a few minutes and demonstrate visible improvements within a short period of time.
