Improves passing without putting the ball on the floor, gets players to hit lay-ups at full speed and teaches kids how to stop on the dime for a quick jumpshot.
One player with ball starts in front of basket. Other players file into two lines at each hash mark down the sideline. On coaches whistle, player one throws the ball off the glass to simulate the fast break and turns to pass to line one. After the pass, he/she will sprint up the sideline and receive the pass back from line one and hit line to with the pass without putting the ball on the floor. After receiving the pass from line two, player goes in hard for the right-handed lay-up. Line two player will trail in behind and get the rebound and sprint as hard as he/she can dribbling the ball to the other end for the quick jump shot from 14-19.9 ft. After the shot, the player will either retrieve the make or rebound the miss, put it back in and then start the rotation over with the pass to line one.
6+
Each player will rotate after each pass, (example: after the lay-up, player will rotate to line one. After passes, line one player rotates to line 2, etc..
Make sure players are going at game speed for optimum conditioning, ball handling and shooting on the run effectiveness.
Add two or more balls to the rotation.
Do this drill from both sides, left and right.
Put time on the board and have criteria for made shots at both ends of the floor.
Music always helps keep a positive environment and pushes the players harder. Very good coaching tool, unless your instructing of course.
