Half Court 4v4

The half court 4v4 drill is a wonderful drill for all ages.  For younger ages it will give the kids a little more space to be creative and make good basketball decisions.  I have watched alot of the youth games and most of the game deteriorates into swarming the ball resulting in a turnover or a wild shot at the basket.  Taking the player off and playing 4v4 will allow more space for the boys to actually play rather than just get overwhelmed. For the older boys it will promote creativity on the offensive side and force better positioning and defending on the other side.  The kids will love this drill at all ages.

The Take It Out Warmup Drill

This is a very good basketball warmup drill your team can do at the beginning of practice or in your pregame warmups before the basketball game.  The drill involves lots of movement and passing that ends in a shot.

Basketball Hour Glass Passing Drill

The basketball hour glass drill is a good passing drill for all ages from the youngest all the way up to high school ages.  The passing drill will improve footwork, hand-eye coordination as well as passing skills.  This is a good warmup drill at the beginning of basketball practice.

Basketball Dribbling and Ball Handling Basics

Too many coaches overlook the basics of the game.  Dribbling and ball handling drills should be used every practice.  Whether they be for warmup or a core of your practice that day, do not overlook the importance of touching on the subject at every training session.
