4-3-2-1 TEAM SHOOTING COMPETITION

SETUP: form two teams: every player has the ball. Both teams are in line behind a cone in low post. Other 3 co- nes are put around the lane in diffe- rent positions, increasing the distan- ce from the basket.

GOAL: stand shooting from different positions.

DESCRIPTION: every player shoots once, gets his own rebound and co- mes back to line. The team has to score 4 baskets in a row (without er- rors) from the first position, then they move to the second cone. Team has to score 3 baskets in a row from the second cone, 2 in a row from the third cone, and only one shot from the last cone. Distance and difficulty increase at every cone.

GAME: the first team to complete the four positions wins the game. You can repeat the drill changing the posi- tions.

CORRECTIONS:
focus on different details in shooting: ask the players to be squared (feet, shoulders, elbow, hand), legs into the shot. Follow through.

1 ON 1 INSIDE THE LANE

Offensive player wins if he scores a basket, if he is fouled, 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 action starts on offense the next one, who loses goes back in line. The next player in line is the next defender.

1 ON 1 CORRIDOR

SETUP: two teams, one on offense and one on defense. Players on offense form a line in a corner. Four players (X1, X2, X3 and X4) are inside of the court, on the same side of players with the ball. The other defenders are in line.

DESCRIPTION: 1 starts his dribbling staying in his "corridor" (from the sideline to the line hoop-hoop) and faces X1, X2, X3 and X4 in sequence. The four defenders play defense in their 1/4 court: X1 from the baseline to the foul line extended, X2 from the foul line extended to half court, X3 from half court to the other foul line extended, X4 in the last 1/4 court. When the action is over all defenders rotate by one position: X4 comes back in line and X5 comes in, replacing X1 position.
