When I’m teaching the Motion Offense I use this drill that I call the Motion Passing Drill. This drill really teaches the importance of moving to receive the pass (v-cut), the back door cut, and passing to the post (especially coming from the weak side).
Here’s a full court lay-up drill that is competitive and a good indicator of how good you can run the floor.
Great one on one defenders can be very tough to find, and although you can’t teach strength and athleticsm, you can give players a better understanding of angles and how to cut off an attacking offensive player. One of my favourite drills to do this in, because it works not only on your defenders ability, [...]

I have one shooting drill that the boys on all my high school teams love playing. We call it 3 Point Killer.

The Circle Passing Drill is one we do frequently and with excellent results. The object is to pass the ball to another player in the circle. Use good passes: chest, bounce, overhead, etc.
I always do this drill before a contest or during a warming up. It is called the 175 Shots Drill. It’s a good drill for a relaxed warm up; even before a game!
