Basketball Drills

Basketball Conditioning Drills - 4 CORNERS

Description:

Place 2 players on each corner of a half court. We`ll start with making lay-ups from the Right side.

The object of this drill is to have all players involved in one type of activity at all times(passing,making the layup,running,rebounding or catching).

Instructions:

Name the 4 corners:

A) right side half court

B) right side baseline

C) left side baseline

D) left side half court

The drill starts with A dribbling to make a lay-up from the right side while B rebounds the ball,( A goes to line B). B Who has retrieved the ball passes to C on the outlet on the left side,(B takes his place in line C). D runs toward the center of the field and catches the pass from C. C goes to the D line. D passes to A who is striking for the Lay-up. D becomes A and the repetition begins.

Note: After the drill has gone on that a rhythm has been found I start to add the other balls into Play. That means that every player has to concentrate otherwise everything breaks down. The player who causes the breakdown has to do a few laps at the end of training.

We do this drill at the beginning of training with 5 nineties right handed lay-ups then 5 minutes left handed lay-up to bring our bodies to the right working temperature before stretching.
