Last One Holding The Chalk...Usually Wins!

(February 2006)

Assortment of plays, drills and ideas to help your program improve.


Today I would like to share with you the current pregame drills I am using. Each of these have been added to my "Game Time" Book available in our coaches store (not included in the "Game Time" video or DVD). I use these four drills below in succession and then go to free shooting w/ free throws. It usually takes about 15 minutes to complete all four below. We also like to use these drills in our last practice the night before our game.

Dribble Hand-off Lay-ups

Post Ready Drill

Drive and Kick

Criss-cross shooting

The above drills give our team excellent, organized repetitive work on shooting, jumpstops, pivoting, dribbling, passing and catching. We feel we get the maximum number of repetitions in the shortest amount of time, all in an organized fashion.
