Basketball Practice Drills – Killer

Jay, one of my subscribers, sent in these basketball practice drills he uses with his team.  These are a few of his personal favorites.

From Jay…
I have coached kids from 8-15.

They love the 11-man fast break drill.  I don’t think I have seen it in your drill package, but I am assuming you know this basketball drill.

Another one that is a staple is “Killer”—

3 players come out into the paint near the low block. “  The basketball coach tosses up a ball off the rim/backboard.  The object is for someone to get the rebound and go up strong against the other 2 players.  This can get real aggressive.

My youngest group likes to play “Dribble Knockout”—

I had 8 players in the gym last night.  All start with a basketball and a dribble all inside the 3 point line.  The object is to keep their dribble while trying to knock someone else’s ball outside the line.  If the ball goes out beyond the 3 point arc (either by being knocked out or simply losing their dribble), that player is out.  Once we get down to 3 – the game moves inside the paint and continues.
