Ball Handling, Shooting, & Close-out Drill

1 dribbles hard at the chair with his left hand and makes a COD move shifting the ball into his right hand

As 1 dribbles 2 drifts to the corner behind the chair

1 makes the pass as he shifts the ball into the right hand hitting 2 in the corner

POINTS OF EMPHASIS:

1 needs to be in control as he shifts the ball on the COD and kicks to 2 without making a charge

2 needs to time his cut to the corner to make the drill work like a game situation

PROGRESSION:

We run this drill on both sides of the floor and run the drill for a total of 5:00 at game speed

Ball Handling, Shooting, & Close-out Drill

After 1 passes to 2 in the corner, he breaks out to the wing as 2 begins a penetration dribble at the chair (representing the help defender after he has beaten his man with the 1st move)

2 kicks out to 1 an closes-out on him

We want 1 immediately shooting the ball off the catch

POINTS OF EMPHASIS:

2 needs to catch with 2 feet in the air, then immediately push-off when he lands attacking off the dribble

On the close-out, we teach to play the shot with 2 hands up & think penetration

1 needs to be ready to catch & shoot without hesitation

PROGRESSION:

We run this drill on both sides of the floor and run the drill for a total of 5:00 at game speed

Dribbling & Shooting Drill

1 makes a self pass, catching with 2 feet in the air and landing with the chance to use either pivot foot

1 makes a rip move and attacks the paint

As 1 makes his rip move, 2 cuts into the chair and pops to the opposite wing

1 passes to 2 and pops behind the chair in the corner as 2 immediately attacks off the pass, attacking the baseline help defender and passing to 1 who takes the jump shot

POINTS OF EMPHASIS:

1 needs to catch in triple threat position, stay low on the rip and get into the paint on the dribble

2 needs to time his cut circling to the wing and catching the ball with his head up ready to attack the baseline help defender after beating his man

PROGRESSION:

Drill is run for a duration of 5:00 and from both sides of the floor at game speed

We use a catch & shot fake as well to get into the penetration dribble

Gun Shooting Drill

1 receives the pass at the top of the key

2 v-cuts to get open on the wing and receives the pass from 1

1 moves to set a down screen on the chair

GUN SPOTS:

8 & 3

Time between .4

POINTS OF EMPHASIS:

1 needs to catch with both feet in the air, pivot and make a good pass to the wing before moving to set a good down screen, with a wide base & solid footwork

2 needs to make a good v-cut to get open on the wing

PROGRESSION:

We will put a defender on the wing so that 2 has to really work hard to get open

We will do the same on the opposite side so that when 1 catches, he can simulate at game speed going by his defender with a good 1st move

Gun Shooting Drill

1 sets the down screen on the chair and pops out to the wing

2 catches the ball with 2 feet in the air, lands and immediately attacks the lane with the dribble

2 makes the pass to 1 who catches the ball and takes 1 dribble for the pull-up jumper

2 loops back to the wing and catches the pass from the GUN and attacks the baseline with one dribble for a pull-up jumper

PROGRESSION:

We take a total of 20 shots and then switch sides

We also use number of makes in 4:00 - usually 40 makes

POINTS OF EMPHASIS:

2 must attack hard on the dribble and get to the lane line before passing to 1 on the opposite wing

1 needs to catch the ball and immediately go into his dribble move, attacking low getting the shoulder and knee by the imaginary defender ( we also put a dummy defender there to simulate a game situation)

We really want our guys to push the first dribble out in front of them and cover ground with the one dribble they're allowed
