Get Down

This drill is a good beginner drill that focuses on rebounding the ball, getting a good outlet pass, and getting the ball down the court with hustle and good passes. This is also a good conditioning drill.

Instructions

Have three people come out and face the goal. When the coach shoots the ball, one of the three rebounds the ball, while player 2 and 3 are filling both outside lanes. The rebounder quickly gives an outlet pass to player 2. Player 2 then passes the ball to player 3 who should now be at about free-throw line extended of the other end of the court. Player 3 now passes back to player 1, who has sprinted up the court for a no dribble lay-up.

Variations

  • I also add one element in once they get the drill down. I call it an INCENTIVE. If someone is not where they are suppose to be for a pass, they must run 5 full court sprints. If someone passes a bad pass, they must do 25 chest passes
    against the wall.
  • Once your team becomes a little more comfortable with this drill you can add 1 defender, 2 defenders and so on.

Tips

  • You really need to emphasis not only good passses, but also passing in front of the receiver.
  • I also emphasis hustle on this drill. It will not work if someone is not hustling down court. Once your player have this drill down, it can be a very good conditioning tool.
