Basketball Drills:
Long and Short
This is a fast break drill from Geno Auriemma that is a good conditioning drill that utilizes the ball. I like to handle the basketball as much as possible when doing in-season conditioning. You will need to scroll down the page to see the video.

Basketball Drills Post Player Development Drils
Basketball Drills Continuous 1-on-1 Players need to play 1-on-1 in practice and in workouts. In continuous 1-on-1 there is no "checking up top." Once a player scores, the other player who is now on offense, takes the ball out of the net and spins it out anywhere behind the three point arc, goes out and meets the pass , squares to the basket and plays from there. Even if the shot is missed, if the defender gets the rebound, he or she spins it out behind the arc and plays from there. It is a good toughness and conditioning drill to finish a workout with and it forces players to go from offense to defense and defense to offense in a more game-like way.
Basketball Drills: NO DRIBBLE DRILL Running your offense in practice does help to promote needless dribbling, but in our opinion, the biggest benefit is that it forces the players without the ball to become better at getting open.
Regardless of what you teach to get open, V-cut, L-cut, jab and pop, perimeter post up, etc... it forces better cuts, better screens, and better post ups. It also requires the player with the ball to practice pivots and to hit the first open player. Using those two items as the emphasis in the drill will create the habits you are looking for with repetition of the drill over time.
An obvious disadvantage is that players can't dribble to get a post feeding angle, but we believe that doesn't hurt your post game because you have the rest of practice to feed the post. Another issue is that it is tough to run and maintain good spacing, but that will improve as you coach them and with repetition.
Basketball Drills: Point per Pass 3-on-3 To keep the 3 on 3 games from being a dribbler and 2 watchers, consider making it a rule that every completed pass followed by a basket cut is worth one point for the offense. It emphasizes the give and go, you can teach passing to the outside hand away from the defense, meeting the pass, and other areas you want. It de-emphasizes dribbling, and it makes the defense play harder to stop the passes. You can set a limit of no more than 7 passes if there is lack of action. Still count baskets as 2 or 3 and free throws as 1. After a few days of doing this, it starts to look like basketball! |
