Basketball
Drill
Type: Offensive Transition, Passing/Receiving
Description:
Do not attempt to do this Drill until
Drill 45 - 3 Man Weave has been
mastered.
Players set up as in 5 numbered spots,
i.e., players form 5 lines on baseline.
Player in middle has the ball
Ball is passed in a weave pattern up
the court.
Player cuts behind BOTH players on
the side they have passed to (study Diagram).
i.e., Pass and Go Behind and Cut to Centre
As the ball reaches the far end of the court without a turnover or a dribble, the last player makes a running lay-up without any use of a dribble.
All players run pattern converging on the basket.
After basket is made, the ball is grabbed by a non-shooter and all players return on the run to the other starting end of the gym and refill the vacant positions for the next 5 Man Weave.
Variations:
- See Drill 45 - 3 Man Weave and Drill 66 - 5 Man Outlet Weave
- Once 5 man weave is mastered add in this return variation, after the shot (made or missed), the shooter and the person who passed to her/him are on defense against the other three players, who attack back down court to the basket where the drill started in a 3 on 2 attack. (Some people add on a 2 on 1 attack back at the far basket with the shooter being the defender in this case.)
Points of Emphasis:
1.
Sprint down the court.
2.
Run the lanes - go wide.
3.
Communicate - call for the ball.
4.
Pass in front of the moving player.
5.
No traveling.
6. Ball does not hit the floor.
7. Score the Basket.
