How do you teach young kids to move without the ball?

Tuesday Nov 18, 2008

I’m coaching 10 year olds. I’m trying to get them to break the “And 1″ habits and play team basketball. Especially the importance of moving without the ball, focusing less on isolating plays and just learning a good motion offense. Maybe even some simple backdoor plays.

I've had this problem with young players as well.

I'd start by showing them some film of Richard Hamilton or even Reggie Miller–masters of moving without the ball. Perhaps some video of the Princeton offense, too. Nothing too long, especially at that age, but enough to give them a reason for wanting to practice it. Maybe have them watch an NBA/NCAA game and having them track a player without the ball. You might even find some of these clips on Youtube.

As to drills, some back door drills would definitely serve this purpose. Start them on the box and then have them flash to the wing and make quick cuts to the basket. You might even be able to work the bounce pass drill at the same time. I'd have a cone, rather than a kid, serve as a defender, at first.

Hey, even a give-and-go drill . . . have one kid start at the top of the key, the other kid on a wing. Have the kid at the top pass and cut to the basket. The kid on the wing passes it right back to him for a lay-up.

Once you've drilled both of these, you could throw in a real defender.


Basketball related gym workouts?

Tuesday Nov 18, 2008

hello i am 14 years old and 6 ft 0 in and i had a few questions about basketball and i didn’t know a better place to go. well i wanted to start going to the gym and working out to get ready for basketball. i was wondering if u had any suggestions on basketball related workouts i could do in the gym. i know that in basketball u lift for strength not mass. and i was also wondering if weightlifting would altar my jumpshot or free throws or even handling in any way and since i practice like everyday, would it be recommended to practice on the same day i lifted weights. i just don’t want to lose any skills so i like practicing as much as i can instead of every other day or 4-5times a week. also, will lifting weigths stunt my growth?

1. Stretch (I tore my ACL last season in a tournament)
2. Jog get warm.
3. Suicides do as many as you could in 5 minutes.
4.freethrow after suicdies(to simulaate during a game how you are exhuiasted. if you miss two freethrows thats ten pushups.
5. inally you get moving with the bball just feel it make sure your comfterable with it.
6. layups on both sides then layups
7. if your playing center get used to the paint and 3 seconds.
8.if you’re playing outside then just shoot around.
9. do some dribiling drills.
10. by this time i promise you’d be exhuasted so to cool down jog aorund for about 10 minutes.


Being the captain for my schools basketball team, what drills should I run during captains practice?

Tuesday Nov 18, 2008

Im running out of options, and i want to keep my girls entertained and excited for the amazing season we have in front of us!

(Go to youtube and type in “3 on 2 on 1 drill run by Steve Nash” to see it run live).

Best of luck to you during the season.
