Dribble Hand Off (Pregame Warm-up)

All of your post players are lined up in the middle with your guards and wing players on the right side. The post players will each have a ball.

The warm-up drill starts with #4 dribbling at #1 to execute a dribble hand-off. #1 comes hard over the top and takes the hand-off from #4. #4 comes to a solid jump stop realizing that he must not only hand the ball off but set a screen for #1 in the process.

#1 takes the ball down the middle of the lane and scores the nice two-foot power layup on the left side of the rim. #4, after handing off, cuts to the basket with his hands up looking for the pass back and / or the offensive rebound. If the lay-up is missed, #4 will tip the ball in.

Dribble Hand Off (Pregame Warm-up)

#4 takes the ball out of the net while #1 breaks out to the wing and then back to the ball to simulate receiving the inbounds pass. #4 passes to #1. #1 takes the ball on the dribble up to half court with #4 trailing behind up the sideline. When they reach half court, #1 gives the ball back to #4 while #1 lines up on the left side ready to begin the drill in the opposite direction.

Once #4 and #1 began the first hand-off, the next two players, #5 and #2 would begin the dribble hand-off series. The post players would continue the dribble hand off action on the right side until the guard and wing player line is empty.

Now you quickly begin the same action on the left side of the floor.

Dribble Hand Off (Pregame Warm-up)

Once each player has executed the dribble hand-off from each side once, the drill continues again on the right side of the floor. This time, #4 will execute the dribble hand-off with #1 and then get the ball back from #1 as #4 rolls to the basket.

#4 takes his own shot out of the net and looks to outlet again to #1 on the left side of the floor who has touched the sideline and broken back to the basketball.

Again, this hand-off and pass back to the rolling post player is done on the right side until the guard and wing player line is empty.

The warm-up is continued on the left side, again, with the post player rolling to the basket and getting the ball back from the guard or wing player. One time on each side.

Dribble Hand Off (Pregame Warm-up)

The last warm-up in this series has #4 dribbling at #1 on the right wing. #1 steps toward the dribbler and then executes a backdoor cut to the basket. #4 makes the nice bounce pass underneath the defense for the lay-up.

As in the previous warm-up drills, #4 will follow the guard or wing player to the basket with his hands up looking to tip in any missed shots. He will then take the ball out of the net and outlet the ball to #1 who has touched the sideline and cut back to the ball.

One time on each side.
