Basketball: 1-5 Post Passing

As someone who is new to coaching this site was just what I needed,...

Phil

DESCRIPTION

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.

COACHING POINTS

Post players running the length of the floor on offence are often rewarded. Make sure your players know this.

PROGRESSION

After two minutes of playing this drill, switch the cones to the other side of the floor so that players are comfortable on both sides.

2 Player Pass, Cut and Shoot:

Player 1 passes across to player 2.
Player 1 will then cut around the cone near the baseline and back up towards the 3 point line.
When Player 1 gets to this position player 2 will pass to player 1.
Player 2 will then run around the cone and cut towards the basket where he will receive a pass from player 1 and shoot the ball.

Passing

2 on 2 - Transition Drill:

Two players (blue) with the ball start from the half way line. They're playing against Red 1 and Red 2.

After the attackers have had their shot the 2 defenders must box out and claim the rebound.

Once the drill is complete players rotate:

Attackers become the new defenders, the defending pair leave the court and swap with a new pair who are the new attackers!

Continue until every pair has had a go.

Passing

1 v 1 from the wing:

Set up two lines, one for the for the defending players (red) and the other for the attacking players (blue) who have one ball.

When the coach blows their whistle both players run around their respective cones (shown in diagram).

After the blue player has made their way around the cone another player in the offensive players' line passes the ball to them.

After they've run round the cones players play out the 1 vs 1.

Dribbling

1 on 1 Continuous:

Split into 2 lines and have a line on either side of the court.

One player in the middle with a basketball.

The player in the middle will pass to the 1st player in one of the lines. After the pass is made that player will go and defender the receiver of the pass.

They will play 1v1. Only 1 shot is allowed.

Once a shot has been taken the ball will be passed to the opposite line where the offensive player will become the defender.
