Drill for Guards: Post Feed / Spot Up
Drill Purpose
Teaches players how to feed the ball in the post and reposition for the shot. It also improves ballhandling skills.
Instructions
- 2 people are needed for this drill. The second person can be a player or just another person to catch a pass.
- Set up a line of chairs, starting near the mid-court line and directed toward the baseline but no deeper than the foul line extended. This is an optional step to be used to work on dribbling.
- Place a chair on the wing with a ball on it. The position of the chair is of your choosing at a distance within player's shooting range.
- The 2nd person is in the strong-side low post.
|
|
|
- Ball handler dribble weaves through the chair line (remember this is an optional step). Experiment with your dribbles and use different types of changes.
|
|
|
- Ball handler extends dribble to a good angle for a post feed.
- Ball handler throws a post entry pass.
- Low-post receiver, if a player, makes a low post move. If not a player, (a coach for example) he just holds the ball.
|
|
|
- Ball handler then cuts to chair with the ball, scoops up the ball for shot.

Teaching Points
- Use the 3-point line as a spacing guide. Many passes are fumbled because the passer is too close or the defense is not spaced enough.
- Work on different types of entries: baseline bounce pass, lob pass, etc.
- Teach passing angles. If a coach is present, he can position himself as a dummy defender to teach the passer to read the defense. He can play over the top (use baseline bounce pass), baseline (throw middle pass), full front (lob or reversal pass).
- Emphasize passer movement after the feed to space out off the post and strip the help.
- Teach that some of the best shot opportunities, especially 3-point attempts, come "inside out" after a post feed.

I think the structure of this website is very good. It is easy to get the information you want and it's not loaded with time-wasting graphics

I like the chairs to work on dribble moves and then proper feed to post. I think I would prefer to have the passer flare to different spot and the post to kick back out. That way the guard can work on proper catching and shooting form. Thanks for all you do. Jim in Maine

Good drills, clearly mapped out, and they leave, as Jim in Maine points out, room for other interpretations. As well, the boys are loving them.
