Drill Purpose

This drill adds a unique and fun competition aspect. The purpose of this drill is to improve one on one offense and reading the defender to make the appropriate move.


Drill Instructions and Diagrams

  1. Players are in 2 lines, above the foul line, even with the lane lines.


  2. Place a chair in the middle of the lane lines, above the foul line, with the seat facing the basket.


  3. Place a ball on the chair
  1. When the coach calls "Go," the first player in each line sprints and touches a spot on the baseline in the center of the lane.


  2. Players then sprint back to the chair
  1. First player to the ball picks it up and is the offense. Other player is defense. Game is on!

Teaching Points.

  • Offensive player immediately faces the basket and thinks "Shot."
  • If the ball is dribbled reinforce "Lay-up"
  • Limit the number of dribbles. You should be able to score with 1 dribble.
