Basketball Skills Video

Craig and Ross, two of my readers, sent these basketball drills to me last week.  You won’t need a basketball skills video to figure these out.  Two great drills that are simple and effective! Give them a try.

From Craig…
3 on 3 catch-up. “ 

3-players on the baseline with 8′-10’spacing and 3 opposing players facing them, at the free throw line extended.
The coach throws the ball to one of the players on the baseline.  The three players on the baseline fast break to the other end of the court.  The defensive player who was facing the player who received the pass must run to the baseline and try and catch up with the 3 on 2 situation heading to the other end of the court.

This drill can be 4 on 4 catch up as well.

From Ross…
When the defense team is in a Zone Defense, set a high post.
Two will set on each wing and the other two out on top, swing the ball around the last pass to the wing will run across for back door cut.

This works well when there is no fast break, very easy to learn and works every time.
