Awesome drill! The girls loved it - didn't want to quit! It really brought out an appropriate level of aggression in them that I had been working for! Thanks!

This is a great competition drill. I run it during tryouts WITHOUT a chair, simply placing the ball on the foul line to begin... the chair is an added opportunity for injury if two aggressive players are DIVING for the ball.

Hi Coach Berry,

Notice, it does NOT say the first to grab the ball. It says the first one to the chair.

However, what you said is fine. Just don't allow any diving.

Very useful drill. I am going to teach it to my kids.
Thank you.

I use a similar drill; instead of the chair I have the kids start lying on their backs with their head on the block (feet toward baseline). Ball is placed at top of key, first one to the ball is offense and then they go 1 on 1. I try to match them up even but sometimes I have to place the ball a little closer to one of the girls to keep it even. I emphasize that the first one to the ball has to square up to the basket and get in to triple threat before driving and use a ball fake or jab step as first move. The kids love it and it combines several skills in one drill.

Hi Kevin,

That's an awesome variation and I have never thought to use that in this drill.

I actually use that drill separately without a ball. I call it "Get Up and Go." You use different start positions on back, on stomach, facing backwards, facing forwards, etc. They race to the half court line or free throw line from the baseline.

Now, I can take out two birds with one stone!

Horrible! My player broke her leg on the chair!

I coach middle school girls. They love competitive drills. So, as I read this drill I decided to turn it into a competitive drill with points. The losing team has to run a ladder or some other conditioning drill.

Each item is worth 1 point:

Offense---make a basket-offensive rebound-get fouled

Defense---turnover-steal-deflection-no score-box out-takes charge

I put more ways to score on defense to emphasize to importance of defense and to emphasize the importance of the offense to take care of the basketball

easy solution to the danger....have the coach stand on the baseline between the 2 lines. coach toss the ball out past the 3 point line for the players to track down & play. coach can toss anywhere beyond the 3pt line to even things out if need be..

To prevent players from crashing into the chair do two things: 1) the first one to touch the ball has it, and 2) if the chair moves an inch both players run a lap. Tell your players its not just getting to the ball and playing offense or defense, it's about body control. The first time the drill was run, only one pair had to run after slightly knocking the chair. And my guys are competitive.
