About This Play/Drill

If you're like me, you HATE the traditional three-man weave drill because players don't take it serious, players make bad passes, players travel during the drill and players shoot uncontested lay-ups (which rarely happens in games).

Here's two great variations of the three-man weave that are actually game-like and will get your players better!

Using the traditional three-man weave set-up, here are two-game drills:
 
Drill 1: Three-Man Weave Into Close Out
  • Player 1 passes to Player 3 and then circles around them and sprints to the midline in the lane.
  • Player 3 receives the pass then passes to Player 2 who touched the sideline then sprinted to the wing.
  • After passing, Player 3 will immediately close out on Player 2 for live 1v1.
  • Player 1 can provide help at the block or elbow.
  • Player 2 gets five dribbles to score.
Drill 2: Three-Man Weave Into Weak-Side Rebound
  • Player 1 passes to Player 2 and then circles around them and sprints to the wing.
  • Player 2 receives the pass and then passes to Player 3 on the wing.
  • After passing, Player 2 will sprint to the midline in the lane.
  • Player 3 will catch and shoot the pass from Player 2.
  • Player 1 will crash the glass and Player 2 will sprint to box out. Both players will pursue the rebound and play a make as a miss.
