DESCRIPTION

**AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON**

Set up: 1 ball, one third space, 1 feeder in between 2 lines of partners.

Two players to drive out straight from baseline to top of the circle (approx.) they turn and drive out on a V to the side channels where the feeder passes ball to one of the drivers.

The driving player who did not receive the ball is to cut back to the top of the circle (middle channel) and receive pass from their partner.

The partner now without the ball cuts back into the middle channel to receive a straight pass from their partner.

Ball is returned to stationary feeding player.

COACHING POINTS

Try naming channels 1, 2,3 or right, middle, left. There is potential to link in special positions for more advanced players. Emphasis confidence in letting the ball go, pass and drive with strength and confidence.

Delivering ball to shooters:

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Delivering the ball midcourt through to the circle edge/shooters

Set up:

Half court, two balls, 5+ players

1 player standing on base line, another player with the ball standing around the third line.

Description:

Note: The video shows the drill being played out with 2 groups of players, you could just focus on one group i.e. 1 line, 1 V driver. The description is based on one group.

Player on base line near shooting post, V drives towards court edge and receives a pass from the player in the line with the ball.

Player who passes the ball drives directly to the circle edge in a straight line and receives a pass from the player who has driven out on the V.

Player who had initially drove out now drives into a position under the hoop to receive a pass from their player and put a shot up.

Shooting

Diamond Driving:

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Set Up:

Two balls, four cones, 4-6 players.
Cones set up as a diamond, the two feeders opposite each other with a ball each.
Two players in the middle as attackers/receivers.

Attackers use âlittle feetâ to move around the other attacker in the middle.
Attackers then split and drive to the outside cones.
Feeders deliver a ball into the middle of the diamond.
Attackers receive the pass from their right and move around the other attacker with
ball in hand to deliver the ball to the opposite feeder.

Attack

Beat the defender:

Set up: A wall, one third space, one ball, 4+ cones, 2 players.

4 cones are set up in a zig zag formation down the length of a third space towards a wall.
The ball is placed on the furthest away cone.
A defending player stands in the middle of the cones, they are to ‘pick up’ the attacker when they drive out.
The attacker, drives out towards the first cone and zig zags towards all cones to move past the defender and get the ball off the cone.
The attacker passes the ball to the wall and gets the rebound.

Movement

1 vs 1 Defending in the Circle:

Slowly the two attackers pass the ball back and forth down the court towards the circle. The defender must move to the ball side of the player inside the circle.

The defender must remain on their toes and keep moving as the two attacking players can put the ball into the circle at any point.
