DESCRIPTION

Player 1 passes to player 2. After passing player 1 sprints cross-court to the cone to try and screen player 3.

Player 3 needs to side-step and feint their way past player 1 before then running to the other side to receive the pass on the cone.

Player 3 then dribbles inside before passing to player 1 who has the shot.

COACHING POINTS

This drill should be continuous, each player after completing the drill should rotate in an anti-clockwise direction, and join the back of the next line.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Pass, Push off and shoot!:

Players pass to the player higher up the court on the wing and then run up to the cones where they're blocked by another player.

Players must wait for a second before then pushing off and running up the court for the return pass.

After receiving the ball back they run inside the key and perform a lay-up.

Shooting

Leave them standing:

Players on the left start with a ball each. Going one player at a time they dribble out into the centre of the court where they meet the defender.

The defender should prevent them from moving across the court.

Before they get within arm's reach of the defender the attacking player should drive into the key where they have a shot.

Shooting

Cone Dribbling:

Players take it in turns to dribble at the cone and then stop right in front of it and dribble all the way around the cone with controlled fingertip dribbles.

Once a full rotation has been completed then you move on to the next cone.

Basic Ball Handling

1-5 Post Passing:

The player underneath the basket begins with a ball and tosses if off the backboard, simulating a rebound. They then pass to the point guard on the wing and sprints forward, while the player on the wing dribbles with quick feet through the cones.

Once the player dribbling has reach the end of the cones, they will then pass to the player on the run for a lay up.
