Basketball Drills for Beginners – Two Way Workout

These basketball drills for beginners are simple but they give your basketball players a good two way workout. The players pair up and the first set line up one being offense the other defense.

• Player 1 is on the base line and player two is about 4 feet up and facing in.
• Player 1 lobs the down the court, just above player 2’s head.
• Player 2 catches up and dribbles down court ( all out break) and takes a shot at the other end.
• Meanwhile, as soon as player 1 threw it in, he/she becomes the defense and tries to prevent that shot.
• As soon as player 2 takes the shot, he/she turns to defense and player 1 becomes offense and goes up court to shot on the other basket.  The next pair goes then.

We use this basketball drill often in practice and the improvements are seen in all players from beginners to more experienced.
