1VS1 BULLDOG
This drill teaches lose ball skills, aggressiveness and one-on-one skills.

The Assistant stands under the basket and has his team break into two lines (one on each side).
He pass the ball down the middle of the court and the first player from each line race to the ball.
No rules - players are encouraged to get on the floor and sell out to get the ball.
Once one player gets the ball they play one-on-one back to the basket.
If a player loses the race and gets scored on he runs a full suicide.

4 ON 3 + 1 FROM PASS

SETUP: form two teams of 4 players. Players are set near half court facing each other. They start doing some footwork on their spot. Coach with a ball is at half court near the sideline.

GOAL: fast break, quickness, readiness.

DESCRIPTION: Coach passes the ball to one player, his choice. As soon as the player gets the ball, his team plays on offense, attacking the basket in front of them. The other team is on defense. The defender of the player who got the ball has to touch the spot where man started before, he can play defense. When defense get the ball, they play another action, attacking the opposite basket.

GAME: play to a certain score. Coach switches the team who receive the ball from his pass on each action.

2 ON 1 + 2 ON 3

SETUP: players are divided in two te- ams: team A is split in two lines (one line with the ball, one line without the ball) in the corners at halfcourt.

GOAL: playing in outnumber.

DESCRIPTION: 1 and 2 attack the basket against X1. When X1 gets he ball, he attacks opposite with X2 and X3. 1 and 2 play defense in the second action. When the game is over, all players come back to the lines of their team, switching side.

GAME: play a game to 6 baskets. At the end of the game, repeat it switching teams starting on offense/defense. To have a drill more realistic, you can add some rules:
1 and 2 can do only 1 pass before every shot.
X1, X2 and X3 have 6 seconds to take a shot.

CORRECTIONS: the player with the ball must drive to the basket strongly. He passes the ball to his team mates only if X1 is helping with his chest on the line of penetration.
