Basketball Fast Break Drills
1v1 Attack With Narrow Cones

The offensive player starts under the basket with the ball.

The defensive player starts at half court.

Cones are aligned on each side.

The offensive player dribbles at the defensive player and makes a dribble move to attempt to get by the defensive player. The offensive player then attempts to score.

If the offensive player dribbles outside the cones or loses the ball, they lose possession and the next group starts. Once the offensive player is past the cones, they can use the whole floor to score.

The offensive player's goal is to get by the defender as quickly as possible while driving to the basket in straight lines with the fewest amount of dribbles as possible.

After the shot, the defensive player secures the ball. The defensive player now becomes the offensive player and the next person in line slides out to half court to play defense. The player who just shot hustles to the end of the line.

The new offensive player then attacks the opposite goal and this drill continues.

Two lines are formed. The offense is under the basket. The defense is at half court.

On command, the offensive player dribbles at the defensive player and looks to score.

As soon as the first group passes the cones, the next group gets ready to go.

On command or when the player shoots, the next group starts.

After the shot, the defensive player stays at that basket with the basketball as the new offensive player. The offensive player sprints to the defense line at half court.

Once all of the players have went, the group starts again going the opposite direction.

This variation is great if you have 10 or more players.

The drill is the same as above, except now you do the drill on both sides of the court while dribbling at opposing baskets to avoid collisions.

After you complete a possession, the group goes to the opposite side of court and the defensive player is now on offense and the offensive player sprints to the defense line.
