Offensive possession against a 2-3 zone.

Early Offense: Creating and Keeping an Advantage

This is an activity adopted from Alex Sarama that creates an environment where offensive players must make reads and decisions based on the defense. The drill starts with one offensive player and two defensive players with two basketballs. The offensive player must catch outside the three point line with the first defender closing out differently (short/long) each time. The offensive player rea...

After timeout action.

Defensive possession ending with a steal.

A small sided shooting game that is easy to set up and will lead to lot of reps and variability. In this version each group has four players and two balls. Drill starts by passing to the open teammate. The first passer receives the seconds pass from the third teammate, etc. Each shooter must collect their own rebound and pass out to the next open player. They must then relocate to receive a pas...

An activity focused on finishing at the rim after a drive. In the voiceover I discuss the design of the drill and the representative nature of the drill, the variability in finishing, and the constraints applied within the drill. For reference, the drill starts with an offensive player ripping the ball off of the hip of the defender in order to finish at the rim. The offensive player must switc...

Finishing series based on the idea of “repetition without repetition.” The offense player starts with a live dribble and decides which cone to go around for the finish. The defender must go around one of the other two cones and contest the finish. Offensive players are instructed that they may not go around the same cone twice in a row. Game can be played make it, take it, to a certain score, o...

A great example of allowing the ball to "make the call" in transition and moving from a small to big advantage.

Partner shooting series based on the idea of “repetition without repetition.” Each partner shoots a four shot series with a different movement: 1. Pop for 3 2. Catch on the move 3. Stand still 4. One dribble pull up Next progression is to load with a defender giving the shooting varied looks.

A continuous small sided game putting emphasis on transition offense and defense. Play starts in the half court with cones set up free throw line extended. The defense transitions to offense when they secure the ball and outlet to their teammate at the cone. The teammate who outlets the ball exits the drill. The new defense must pick up in transition with stress on finding match-ups, communicat...

A full court 5 on 5 game to work on half court offense, transition offense, and defense. The game is played three possessions. One team starts in the half court in a set or action to create an advantage to score. The goal is for the team that starts with the ball to get a score, stop, and score. If the offensive team does get the score, stop, score, they get to start with the ball again. The in...

A half-court small sided game focusing on toughness when passing and catching. The offensive team starts with the ball and must complete six passes in a row. The offense does not get any dribbles. In addition, they must complete the six passes without the defense getting a tip, deflection, or a steal. The boundaries are the half court and above the cones near the baseline. Coaches may want to c...
