Basketball Defensive Drills
The key to being a good defensive basketball player is quickness. When playing defense your players need to be able to cut off the opposing team’s offensive, and stay quick on their feet in order to block the shot and passing lanes.
Beginner Basketball Drills
One of the best skills to teach to your basketball players at the beginner stage is catching a rebound. While making shots is important, catching and making the rebound shots is equally crucial to earning points and winning basketball games.
Basketball Ball Handling Drills
When playing basketball having good ball handling skills is essential. The following basketball ball handling drills are a great way to improve your team’s ball handling skills and can be applied during practice or in warm up before a game.
Basketball Offense Plays
The key to winning basketball offensive plays is to keep them simple. Players don’t want to be remembering a complicated series of footsteps and passes.
Basketball Agility Drills
Agility is perhaps the most important trait to the game of basketball. You have to be fast on your feet or else the other team will stomp all over you. These basketball agility drills will have your players moving quicker and lighter on their feet in no time.
Basketball Tryout Drills
It’s that time of the year again–basketball tryout time! When holding basketball tryouts you’ll want to run a variety of drills that will showcase your potential players’ strengths and weaknesses on the court.
Out of Bounds Basketball Plays
There are a multitude of options on how to play an out-of-bounds throw in during a basketball game. I recommend that each team have 3 or 4 solid out of bounds basketball plays that can be used in a variety of game play situations in order to maximize their scoring opportunities during these crucial moments.
Basketball Drills for Practice
As mother always said, practice makes perfect. This maxim can be applied to anything from math homework to basketball. As a coach, coming up with new and exciting basketball drills for practice is not always an easy task.
Basketball Drills for the Very Young
Even at a very young age it is possible to begin to instill the basics of basketball into a child’s precocious mind.
Youth Basketball Drills
Keeping youth interested in basketball drills can be a difficult task. But if your youth basketball drills combine fun and a little healthy competition your kids will become so engrossed in what they are doing that they will forget they are running basketball drills.
Free Basketball Drills
When coaching the sport of basketball, one of the best ways to improve your players’ skill levels is to run a series of skill-specific drills during practices. The following free basketball drills focus specifically on improving your players’ dribbling skills.
Free Basketball Tryout Plays
Unless they've been coaching for next to forever, basketball coaches are always on the lookout for new plays. Coaches want plays that can be used in games and they also like to have plays that they can use in practice to test the players' abilities.
1st Grade Basketball Drills
Anytime little kids are practicing for any sport, things should be kept fun while also teaching the kids how to play the game. This certainly applies to basketball and 1st graders playing it.
Basketball Coaching Flex
The flex offense in basketball has been around for about 30 years. This type of offense relies on a lot of passing, screens, backdoor cuts, and ball-reversals.
