Basketball Out of Bounds Plays – 4 Corners
Here is my out of bounds play underneath the hoop. I call it 4 Corners.

This is a dribbling drill that can be done in two lines, or just as partners, depending on the size of your group/team, the gym space, and the number of basketballs available. Start the drill off slowly with emphasis on keeping eyes up and not on the ball then speed it up. Excellent skill builder.
Here is something we do at or near the end of practices. The kids are crazy about the drill. We do it as a competition and call it the Gettin Down and Dirty Drill. This drill is physical, creates great conditioning, and teaches players to get ahead of the dribbler.
This is drill that I use all the time. We all know how important it is to make the lay-up in games and this drill adds a little pressure and competition to perfecting the skill. It’s called ” 25 in 2″. It is great for practicing the running, passing game and it puts responsibility on all team members to execute.
Depending on the kind of players you have, this can be one of their favorite basketball dribbling drills.
I find that kids focus and compete better in drills if the drill is a competition. SO..I try and break up into smaller groups “teams” and run drills where they compete against each other. This Rebound Competition is one of the favorites.
This is a conditioning drill combined with team building, combined with dribbling skill. This drill is called “Fire and Desire”. It is nothing new, but it accomplishes a lot.
Since we have rectangular backboards in our practice facility, I came up with this simple shooting drill to develop concentration. Use as a warm-up for game condition shooting drills.
My favorite play is one I call Line-up. It is an inbounds play designed to work best against teams playing man to man defense.
Ball control is one of the best things a player can learn besides offense and defense. So give this drill a try; I call it “Ball Control”.
