pens during a regular season game, so
this type of drill should have great carryover
effect.
It is important to vary the drills throughout
the week to keep the players interested.
A good way to do this is to vary the
duration and intensity of a drill.
The beginning of our routine was always
similar to this one:
▼ Warm-up with the ball (different drills)

8-10 minutes.
▼ Stretching 4-6 minutes.
▼ First drills.
DRILL 1: ELEVEN PLAYERS
This drill requires 11 players to set up
as shown in diagram 1. Three players
are on offense versus the two defenders.
After the shot, miss, or a score, one
of the two defenders passes the ball to
the player out-of-bounds (on the right
side in this example), and they run the

fastbreak with the other player, who
was off the court. They play three-on-
two at the other basket. The player, who
gets the ball drives to the center of the
court, while the passer goes in the lane,
where he has passed the ball, and the
third player runs in the opposite lane.
The other four remaining players set
themselves up with two on defense and
one each on the left and right side of
the half court (diagr. 2).
Option
Run the fastbreak without dribbling:
a. The passer passes to the player on
his right side, runs in the central lane,
receives the ball back and passes it
to the player on the left side, who
runs along the sideline (diagr. 3).
b. The passer passes the ball to the
player on his right side, and runs to
occupy the left lateral lane, while the
other player on the left side goes in
the central lane, gets a pass from the
player on the right side, and then
kicks back the ball to him (diagr. 4).
