Here is a video of a few ways to use the shell drill to teach just more than defensive positioning. In my opinion, you can use the shell to drill many of the defensive principles that we teach in man to man defense.

In this video, Indiana State’s Greg Lansing teaches jumping to the ball to guard a basket cut and helping and recovering on dribble penetration. I hope the video gets you thinking about some ways to incorporate your defensive principles and actions you guard into the shell drill,

Make sure your sound is on as you watch.

I hope this video gets you thinking about ways to make your ballhandling drills more competitive.

I think it is important to find ways t0 make your ballhandling drills competitive by using some type of scoring system.

I like to have a standard for players to compete against as opposed to competing against each other.

I have posted some links to some other skill development drills below the video. Some of the drills are team drills and others are individual workout drills.

32s Shooting Drill

From: Xavier Assistant Coach James Whitford

32s is a shooting dnll incorporating 15 shots finished up with 2 FT’s at the end.
We will shoot from 5 beginning spots.

3 shots will be attempted from each spot.

1st shot-drive to the basket to finish I point
2nd shot is a 15 ft. spot up jumper 2 points
3rd shot is from beyond arc 3 points

This is repeated at all five spots for a maximum total of 30 points. Shooter finishes the drill with a I and 1 FT oppotunity. each worth 1 point. Giving you a total of 32.

This can be varied for TIME/MAKES and by adding defense.

Can be done easily as a team drill with each shooter attempting the series of shots before moving to the next spot.

You can then total a team score as well as individual.

Our players like to do this on game days to reach a TEAM GOAL. Then they prefer to compete head-to- head in practice situations.

The current champion gets to keep until dethroned,

I have never seen a 32 in my coaching career.

One 31… shooter missed the second end of me 1 and 1!!!

Move Shooting Drill

“MOVE” is another basic drill with a number of variations to allow it to be a single player drill or a team drill.

Using our 5 Spots (left corner, left wing ,top, righ wing, right corner)

Shooter begins in left corner and stays until they score a total of 6 points:

15 footer = 2 points
19’9″ + = 3 points
Lay-up = 1 point

A Lay-up can only be attempted when the shooter needs 1 point to achieve their desired score.

EXAMPLE SCORING:
First shooter makes a 2 point, next shooter misses, next shooter makes a 3, team has a total of 5 SO next shooter is allowed to drive it for a lay-up to achieve the score of 6.

At the next spot the first shooter makes a 3, the next shooter makes a 3… we MOVE

Player completes six points at each spot

Now we go 8 points. Then 10 points. Then 12 points. Etc

This drill can be done for a certain amount of time. For example, put 5:00 on clock and see how many spots a shooter can complete. It can also be done just as a simple goal based drill.

When shooting in groups, this drill is great to teach time/score situations as in “knowing”what you need to achieve the MOVE.

It creates a very competitive drill when going on both ends with each team equally divided. We shoot in classes, by position, allow them to pick teams, etc.

This basketball drill to work on both trapping the basketball and passing out of a trap is being demonstrated by Keith Dambrot, Head Coach at Duquesne.

In the video, Coach Dambrot credits Shaka Smart as the coach he learned the drill from.

If you like to make your drills competitive, one way to make this drill competitive is to score deflections and turnovers.

The video is a YouTube video.

The Circle Trap drill can be used by college teams all the way down to youth camps and clinics to teach passing skills.

I have a list of links below to other skill development drills that are posted on the site.
