Newest Basketball Drills
Before I give you some information about the newest basketball drills that I have posted at the Coaching Toolbox, make sure that you go to HoopClinics and check out the free 2-2-1 membership area. You can join for free at this link:
The Animal Drill is a rebounding drill for high school and college players that develops timing and hand strength. You can check it out at this link:
Straight Line Driving Drill is a video clip from Coach Ed Schilling’s DVD–Mandatory Drills, this page has two other videos. One of the other videos gives some ideas on taking care of the basketball and the other video some ideas for scoring off of an offensive rebound. An extra bonus on this page is the 40 minute audio recording of a webinar with Coach Schilling. He made some great coaching points, so it is certainly worth it to take a listen. We do have a link on the page to order Mandatory Drills as well.
Competitive Defensive Drill Here is a competitive defensive drill from Geno Auriemma where the player has to make a one on one defensive stop to get out of the drill.
To make the drill more even more competitive and quick moving than what the short video shows, split your team into groups of five using as many baskets and coaches as you can. I think it is best to make the players in each group as similar in ability as you can. The drill is scored like golf. Each time a player goes on defense, he or she gets a point. So, if they make the stop the first time, they only get one point (hole in one in golf). If they have to go five times and get their defensive stop, then they get five points.
After 4 “rounds” where each player has been on defense four times, the low score wins. That also gives incentive for the offense to work to score because they are putting points against the players they are competing against within their own group.
I like the setup in the video with the two offensive lines so that the defender has to change sides of the floor if they have to go again.
Baseline Drive and Baseline Drift Here is a shooting drill that would be good if you use this movement as a part of your offense.
Baseline Drive and Baseline Drift
Five on the Line Conversion Drill If you can’t see the video right away, you might need to refresh the page.
This is an illustration of one of my favorite defensive conversion drills. Coach Monson also makes a great teaching point as to having an expectation of getting your halfcourt defense set in five seconds.
