Ages: All Ages Youth Middle School High School+
Purpose of the Drill:
Conditioning along with multi defensive and offensive situations.
Instructions
- This drill uses a least ten players and a lot of defensive situations. Start by dividing the team into two units. Place one team at the free-throw line extended at one end and the other at the opposite end. Now divide each team so that half is on each side of the extended line out of bounds. Pick one player from team one and two from the other team. Start at mid-court with the ball in the one player hand facing his scoring basket (back to his team). He drives to basket with the other two players chasing.
- After scoring he sprints back as lone defender. The two players must take the ball out and break and try to score. You can now work with 2 on 1 situation.
- When the ball crosses half court one player from each side of the defensive team sprint to baseline and back to free throw line extended(they are outlets for missed shot or inbound pass after score).
- When pass goes to one of the outlets the opposite outlet sprints to middle between top of key and mid-court to get pass from other outlet. You now have three men breaking, and the two that were on offense sprint back on defense. You now have three on two situations.
- Again after ball crosses half court two wing players from defensive team sprint to baseline and back to free throw line extended. Made or missed shot outlet or inbounds to wing and repeat process. This time it will be four on three.
- Repeat the outlet procedure and you will have five on four on next trip back down court.
- You now have only one outlet. This player must sprint to base, but than to top of key and than go to side of outlet after defensive rebound or for inbound pass.. You now have a five on five and can run this as long as you want..
- Repeat the drill with different players starting.. You can see that the first set of three players must run and play the longest. This is a great conditioning drill for your bigs.
Points of Emphasis:
- It is important that you as a coach press upon your players to be alert, know where they are and not to stop playing until you hear a whistle.
- Going hard for a rebound, aggressive pressure both on offense and defense, and excuting the desired plays.
Motivation/Teaching Tips:
- A Wooden tip.
- Failure waits for those who stay with some success made yesterday. Tomorrow we must try once more, even harder than before.
