Drills

Observation of Jarrod Kenny Coaching Session (7/6/19)

Started the session with Dribbling (focus on head up, low bounces and dribble with fingers not palm):

  • 1 ball left hand and then right hand.
  • 2 balls both hands at the same time keeping your body low and hand up.
  • 2 balls going at different times.
  • 2 balls, bounce one and pass one. (like juggling)
  • Dribbling the length of the court, left hand down and right hand back.

King of the circle (game):

  • Each player has a ball that they have to dribble in the space and they can go around and knock the ball out of other people's hands so it rolls out of the space. As the number of players gets less then reduce the amount of space they have to dribble in.

Titanic Shooting Game:

  • Players are in a line shooting, if they miss a shoot they stand to the side "on the titanic" but they can be saved if they get a shot in. If lots of players are on the "titanic" and only a few left shooting then you can make deals, e.g. if you get the shot in two players will be safe.

Basketball Numbers Game:

  • Students split into two teams and given a number. Coach calls out the number and that player runs to get the ball and aims to shoot before the other person or players.

Many great drills on this website.
