Basketball Drills - Multipurpose Ball Handling, Passing, Cutting, and Finishing Drill

This great multi-purpose drill that will improve your ball handling, passing, cutting, and finishing.

As mentioned in the video, these multi-purpose drills are great drills to incorporate into your practices.

From a coaching management standpoint, you...

* Save time because you don't have to reset on every drill. If you work on these separate aspects in different drills, you have to reset and this will chew up extra minutes during your practice.
*Accelerates skill improvement due to saved time.
*Once it is taught, the transition between drills is seamless.

From a skill improvement standpoint, you

* Improve vital ball handling skills such as the back up dribble and dribble moves to beat your defender such as the crossover, between the legs, behind-the-back, inside out dribble, and dribble combos.
* Elevate your passing and cutting skills in game-like situations.
* Polishes your finishing skills.

Segment #1

Player dribbles to each trap situation, backs up. On last double team, back up, reverse (pass) the ball to coach.

Segment #2

After passing to coach, Player 1 executes a basket cut (set player up first) and receives a pass from the coach for a lay up.

The next player in segment 1 should have already started to keep everyone moving and working.

Segment #3

Player 1 gets their own rebound, dribble at the chairs (or cones) set up on the other half of the court. The player weaves through the chairs (or zig zags through cones) working on change of direction moves (cross overs, behind back, spin).

After changing direction on the final chair, the player should push the ball out and take ONE dribble to the basket for an explosive lay up. We want speed and straight lines to the basket.

The other players are now getting involved in the drill.

Note: Alternate using chairs on one day and using zig-zag cones on the next day.

Segment #4

Players shuffle while throwing passes to each other from baseline to baseline. One player will throw chest pass. The other player will throw a bounce pass.

Once they reach the opposite baseline, they sprint back to the starting point of the drill and begin the next repetition.

Because they are kids and haven't developed up to perfection the lay up is the most difficult to master for kids because they have to terminate dribble then use 2 steps to finish which changes depending which side your finishing on.

Awesome multipurpose drill. Great way to incorporate game like drills into 1. Time efficient when you’re short on practice time.

I’ll definitely be using this one in my practice. Thanks.

[JordanConley]

I really like this drill to! Using it next practice!

Now all of that on the left side so you spend 5 minutes setting everything up so it comes up with the same time wasting as to transition from one drill to another. 😂😂😂😂

I hope SBP will look for training coaches like this one..in order to develop our younger bigs..say kai sotto, cortez, tamayo...now adays even big men needs to know how to dribble.

great drill but those players needs lots of work

[Johnkoth]

You can dribble up court and then do a pull up jumper.

Jerry West style.

[mohammadmakki]

[rebecamarin]

How long do you usually run this drill for?

[dopeministrypodcast]

I have been using this for 2 years now. First time I ran this with on a continuous practice schedule they went 12-2

[Inaruto]

That's an amazing drill, I just wish the filming was a bit better. It should've followed one player throughout the entire drill in my opinion.

So informative, cant wait to teach my Teams.on Monday thanks a lot for the lesson much appreciated ✌

[Curlybuilt]

great drill, but how is the team missing open layups with no defensive pressure

[ahmedbouferra]

I read loads of superb reviews on the net about how Spovelax Training Program (look on google search engine) will help you to improve your skills, has anybody tested out this popular popular training program?

[Johnkoth]

3 guys can surround you before you back up dribble. Triple team triangle. Then they can steal the ball or make it hard for you to pass it away.

Makes no sense to run up the court into the path of 3 guys and then stop and then back dribble.

Should run in there direction and before you get there pass to the open man (open because of 3 guys near you and not on other guys) or do a pull up shot.

Take advantage of lazy players grouping togethering and not guarding there guys.
Then pass and another player gets a open shot or a easy layup.

great drill, but there is not one black person in that team :O
