Fit the rules to your needs and to your philosophy and style of play.

3 v 3 Full Court- no dribble. (You could allow regular dribbling and or one or two dribbles to start and then cut back to no dribbles)

Rules:

1. No dribble.

2. Games to 2 or 3. Quick.

3. 2nd foul by defense on
same possession results in point for offense.

4. Defense must pick up by 3/4 court.

Structure:

Two courts going at same time- winners court/losers court. Games either ends when:

1. Winners court is finished. Loser court game is stopped. Team with higher score wins. If tied, next basket wins.

2. When winning score is reached.

King of the court- winners move up, losers move down. If there are more than 4 teams, loser on winner court doesn’t go to end of line- goes to
loser court and plays immediately.

Time: 20 minutes.

*Over time you can change some of the rules to make the drill more difficult or to give it a different emphasis.

Today’s post is a competitive drill.

The video of this drill is hosted on YouTube, so you will not be able to access it unless you are on a server that allows YouTube access.

The coach in the video is currently the head coach at Iowa State University and former UNLV and South Dakota State University Head Coach, T.J. Otzelberger.

In my opinion, competitive practice drills are more game-like, improve both toughness and skills, and increase engagement from your players.

There is narration with the video, so please make sure that your sound is on.

I do realize that while this drill overloads the defense and makes guarding the dribble much tougher than it would be in a game, it could possibly instill bad habits on offense. Too much dribbling and forced into taking bad shots. Something to think about.
