HOME Basketball Drills Passing

Basketball: Layins

Very useful format and descriptions of drills. I am using Sportplan...

Tony, Coach

DESCRIPTION

The player under the basket starts with the ball and grabs a self rebound before outletting to the right wing. The player on the opposite wing, meanwhile, sprints to the other end of the floor on their wing.

The right wing now passes long to hit the left wing in stride ready for an easy lay up. After passing, the right wing sprints to the cone opposite and runs to the original starting point.

The player that started the drill will sprint to the opposite end of the floor as soon as they have passed it, ready to grab the ball out of the net to begin the drill again, with the left winger now being on the left wing at the other end of the court, collecting a pass and playing a long pass to the player that started at right wing.

COACHING POINTS

Ensure that players sprinting the length of the floor keep their heads up and keep focused, as they can potentially run into their team mates, or not be aware of where the ball is.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Keep ball - 4 vs 1:

Two grids of equal size both with 4 players inside.

One team starts with the ball and passes it around inside their area, trying to keep possession.

In order to steal the ball and get the ball for their team one player from the other grid is allowed to enter the opposition team's grid and chase down the ball.

When they win the ball the player plays an unopposed pass into their grid, follows their pass and then the exercise starts again.

Passing

In and Out - V-Cut:

3 players work with one ball between them inside a quarter of the court.

In the middle of the half of area is a cone. Player 1, with the ball in hand, starts on one of the corners of the grid and passes to player 2 after they have run inside the area, touched the cone, and then run outside into open space to receive the pass.

Player 2 then passes to player 3 and the drill continues.

Passing

Full court passing and dribbling:

Players are stood in each corner of the court with two players stood in the center circle. On the coach's signal players 1 and 2 start dribbling before passing to players 3 and 4 respectively who return the pass.

Players 1 and 2 then dribble further before passing to players 5 and 6 and moving towards the elbow of the free throw line to receive the return pass from players 5 and 6. They then immediately pass to the players 7 and 8.

Players 1 and 2 should now replace players 5 and 6.
