3 Competitive 1-on-1 Basketball Drills
You should avoid the typical playground 1-on-1 games. You know... the games where the player dribbles 20 times before making a move to the basket. The big guy takes 17 power dribbles to back you down under the basket.
These drills are a complete waste of time if you want to improve at 5-on-5 basketball.
Instead, you should use the competitive 1-on-1 drills below. These drills will improve your skills that translate to better 5-on-5 play.
You can do these 1-on-1 drills at different increments through the workout. You can also save them for a little fun at the end.
Make sure to create rules such as dribble limits to enforce good habits.
1-on-1 Corner Finishing
This finishing drill will improve players' conditioning, agility, dribbling, confidence, ability to make lay ups off a baseline drive, and finish near the basket.
Multi-Spot 1-on-1 Drill
This drill improves your ability to get open, shoot, use proper footwork, make lay ups, drive to the basket, make moves on the perimeter, and finish in the paint. This drill will also improve your conditioning, stamina, and finishing from all angles on both sides of the court.
1-on-1 Attack - Fast Break Drill
This drill improves your ability to score out of the fast break. You work on ball handling, acceleration, speed, agility, finishing, mentality, conditioning, and much more.
If you want to develop aggressive, successful players in the fast break, this is one of the best drills that you can use.
