i need drills vedio

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.

This is an excellent drill! However, we added another part to it to complete the cycle. We have another coach (or player) stand by the basket ready to get the rebound. After there is a shot, the shooter quickly sprints down court and the rebounder passes to the shooter for an outlet pass / fast break layup.

It is aawesome a sight but it would b perfect wit a video

I like this drill. I tried it this morning and its quite effective

cool drill man.......
focusses on alll
ur skills, shooting, passing etc.....

Doug I love that addition you added. Overall great drills you guys. I have Middle school boys and they get a lot out of these drills.

I like the drills and the suggestions, l will work these guard drills into our general skills development as well as modify for a simple game day motion offence.

I am coaching a 8u girls travel team. I am looking for a drill or something for my ball handlers to work on to prepare them for the pressure they are going to face in game situations. Not just full court pressure, but just facing up the defense and being able to see what is going on. I need my guards to be able to see the floor to get the ball where it needs to go. Anything would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tom

Tom -

8 is a little young to get this technical but the way we teach footwork fundamentals, everything is based on seeing the floor. (This concept was taught to use by Don Kelbick.)

We teach 3 pivots (front, reverse, and drop step). We work on them constantly in different contexts and different drills. There are also 3 counters to those pivots but that's not important to answer your question. So every day in drills, we teach players to catch the ball (or pick the ball up off a chair) and think shot, shot, shot. Even if they are out of their range or not even facing the basket. It's always the same, pivot and think shot! This takes your eyes to the basket, makes you a scoring threat, and makes your moves more effective.

It's a really simple teaching method. It's also mentality. We are always on the "offensive" and putting on the pressure (whether we're on defense or offense). So it's them reacting to us, not the other way around.

You can also try this drill which addresses your issue:

Just be careful about getting too technical with 8 year olds. Focus on dribbling, front pivots, reserve pivots, jump stops, shooting, passing, and all the basic fundamentals. And most importantly, make practice fun!!!

A simple game is "3on3 - Turn & Face"

You play 3v0 at first, then progress to 3v3. You simply say that if you don't turn and face the hoop after every catch, it is an automatic turnover.

AWESOME!! I will try this drill tomorrow night at our practice! I will then try to add a rebounder and a fast brake off of this.

Thank you for the tips!

I like the drill...we will use it at the varsity boys level...i also like Jim in Maines idea of the post kicking to the guard spotting up in a closer range. I continue to love the site.
