Players will dribble up court with their right hand and back with their left hand.
To begin with this should be done at a comfortable pace, ensuring players keep the ball under control.
However, after a practice run you can then line up your players so that they perform this dribble drill under race pressure.
Depending on group size players can race individually or as part of a relay team.
Ensure players keep their eyes and heads up whilst dribbling.
If players lose control of the ball they must go back to the point where they lost control before completing their run.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
