Baseline Drive

Video by BreakthroughBBall

Team Shooting During this first variation, we are trying to get a baseline drive and drift. Then we want to get that drift to one more. We want a clean reversal from one side of the floor to the other, and then we hit the one more pass for the trailing shot. The goal is to shoot for doubles (each drill you can shoot for singles, doubles, or triples). A double is when two shots and two makes occur on a rep of the drill. 1. The drill starts with three lines of players. 2. The middle line starts with the ball. 3. The middle line should be behind ½ court. 4. Player 1 pitches ahead to Player 2. 5. Player 3 drifts to the coffin corner. 6. Player 2 drives the baseline and passes to Player 3. (Diagram 1) (Diagram 2) 7. Player 1 runs to the wing for the one more pass. 8. Player 3 executes the one more pass to Player 1 who shoots a 3-point shot. 9. Player 4 passes to Player 3 for another 3-point shot attempt. (Diagram 3) 1. Player 3 can make a shot fake before passing to Player 1. 2. The goal for Player 2 is to puncture the lane, getting into the lane, before passing to player 3. 3. Getting into the lane allows the opposite side to drift out for the three. 4. Have players rotate after every possession. 5. Wing line goes to the passer line. 6. Passer then sprints up to the guard line. 7. Guard goes to the wing line. 8. The goal of the primary break out situation is to force long closeouts. That is why the one more pass is so effective.

Drag Screen Team

Shooting We start with a point guard, strong side wing, and big in the four spot. The passing line stands out on the weak side wing spot. We will simulate using four out one in spacing. These drills are samples of what can be done and how to build the drill for your offense. 1. Player 2 sprints to the corner. 2. Player 5 sets a drag screen for Player 1. 3. A drag screen is set by the player trailing the action in transition. 4. Player 1 dribbles off the screen toward the basket. (Diagram 1) (Diagram 2) 5. Player 5 rim runs. 6. Player 1 passes to Player 5 for a layup. 7. Player 2 drifts up and receives a pass from Player 3 for the lift. 1. The point guard has to make a decision based on the defense. 2. If Player 5’s defender switches, then Player 5 should be available on the rim run. 3. If the wing’s defender helps on the post rolling, the point guard can use a hook pass to the wing lifting. 4. The 2nd passer, Player 3, is simulating a point guard making the hook pass. 5. Place every player in every position, so all players learn all the positions for development. 6. All of the shots should be done on the move. No shot is stationary. Everything is live and game-like. Made by Breakthrough Basketball

Full-Court Shooting

Video by MOJO (yougotmojo)

A full-court weave variation that adds a shooting wrinkle: after the initial weave finishes in a layup at the far end, the two players who didn't shoot receive a pass and each take an elbow jumper as a brand new weave begins in the other direction. Time how long it takes to complete a full lap of the court and challenge the group to beat their previous time — combining the weave's passing precision with catch-and-shoot reps under fatigue. This drill comes from MOJO (yougotmojo).
