SiMPLE BASKETBALL DRILLS

Simple Basketball Drills that work

By COACH 10L

Flash Catch and Score

Simple basketball drills can still be very effective. This is one of the most effective dills, especially for young players. Flash across the lane. Catch the ball. Explode up and score off the board.

After the player passes to the flasher, they flash across the lane to catch their ball and score. Rebound your own shot and get it to the person on that side of the basket who doesn’t have a ball then get at the end of that line.

The Coach can stand in the middle and harass the shooters even giving them a bump or shove. As in most basketball drills it is important to be actively coaching. Players love to hear positive feedback from their coaches. They appreciate the fact that the coach is paying attention.

Team Shooting Drill

To develop great shooters on your team utilize this simple basketball drill often. Depending on how many players you have, form 3 to 5 lines. The first 2 players in each line should have a ball. The first player shoots then rebounds their own shot and passes the ball to the first available player in their line. After passing then rotate clockwise to the next line. You can also have the players stay in their line, then rotate the line after a minute. This is a quick way to lots of shots in practice.
