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.

1 ON 1 AWAY FROM THE BALL

SETUP: X1 has the ball at low post. Players 1 and 2 are on guards.

GOAL: V cuts, 1 on 1 on the ball, anticipate the player without the ball.

DESCRIPTION: X1 passes the ball to 1 and follows to play defense. 1 passes to 2 and V-cuts to get open and receive the pass back: 2 can move on his spot to find a good passing lane. 1 attacks the basket as soon as he catches the ball from 2.

GOAL: offensive player wins if he scores a basket, if he is fouled, or if he gets the rebound. Defensive player wins if he steals the ball, if he gets the rebound, if the ball goes out of bounds. Who wins the first action plays offense again the next one.

TIP: To have a more realistic drill, you can limit the number of dribbles.

CORRECTIONS:
DEFENSE: don’t let the offense get the pass back easily. Anticipate the pass. As soon as offense catches the ball, recover in a correct "wall" position on the ball.

OFFENSE: be ready to catch the ball and shoot or drive immediately.
