Half-Court Offensive Drills

Discover 14 half-court drills aimed at developing situational understanding and learning how to play the game the right way. Dribble hand-offs/back-door reads, surveying the court on the catch, communication, perimeter players playing off of a post, perimeter drive-n-kicks, and executing the wing screen-and-roll are on display as players must recognize the situation, read the defense (where applicable), and make the correct play.

• Geno Auriemma (3v3 DHO to Shake Option) - Players learn different actions based on the way the defense plays, as well as proper spacing for best results.
• Sean Miller (3 Around 1) - In this half court drill, the post player continuously works on getting open and guards work on diving to the rim, catching and shooting, or making the extra pass to an open shooter.
• Mark Few (Ball Swings 3-on-0, 3-on-0 Post Entry and Ball Screen Breakdowns) - Learn how to get your perimeter players to pass, maintain spacing, and play off dribble penetration. Coach Few also works on scoring options from side ball screens.
• Steve Prohm (Kansas Shots and Hammer Pass to Rover Screen) - Two drills that focus on getting shots in the ball screen offense. Bigs work on duck-ins and guards work on attacking the basket off ball screens.
• Ben Jacobson (Feeding the Post) - Using the Elbow Screen off the ball to feed the post and work off of the post in order to create offensive spacing.
• Jay Wright (Catch and Shoot, Ball Screen and 2-Ball Shooting with Low Cross Screen) - Coach Wright's drills emphasize footwork and reading the situation. Guards work to catch and shoot or to attack the basket using different finishes.
  • The Ball Screen series works on attacking the basket from the wing.
  • In the Jab and Swing series, guards practice setting up defenders to attack off of ball screens.
  • In the Aces and Switch drills, forwards will set ball screens before rolling into post ups or popping for the perimeter jump shot.
  • In 2-Ball Shooting, players use movements to get shots in places where they will shoot from during the game.
• Gary Waters (Guard Shooting and Contest Shooting) - Shooting drills that gives your players a lot of reps in a short amount of time.
• Don Showalter (Partner Passing Drills) - A passing series to build your players' weak hand passing skills.

Full-Court Transition Offense Drills

Eleven full-court, transition drills to instill a run-and-gun, attacking mentality into your team. Communication, hitting the outlet player on the run, passing ahead, finishing at the rim, and lobs to the "bigs" are on display.

• Mike Krzyzewski (3-man Passing, 415-drill , and 3-on-0 Catch and Face) - Coach K provides three drills that have helped him become the winningest coach in NCAA D1 men's basketball history.
  • In 3-Man Passing, players develop their communication and passing that will have them fast break and flow into different actions in their motion offense.
  • The 415 is a full court shooting drill from Coach K's U.S. Olympic team that has players competing to make transition jump shots.
  • The 3-on-0 Catch and Face Drill works on getting open against defensive pressure, establishing a strong triple threat, and improving court vision.
• Fred Hoiberg (3-man Weave and Speed) - Players will improve the distance of their passing and their ability to catch and finish at full speed with this variation of the 3-man weave.
• Billy Donovan (2-on-1 Continuous) - This up-tempo competitive drill keeps the action constantly moving and works on finishing through defenders in advantage situations.
• Bill Self (Seminole Drill and 4-Man Break) - One of Coach Self's favorite transition drills, the 4-Man Break, is a great way to break down your fast break offense with every position getting shots during the drill.
• Sean Miller (Layups/Michigan/Weave) - Coach Miller has combined three drills into one to get your players comfortable moving the ball on the run while sprinting down the court filling their lanes.
• Mark Few (Transition Passing) - This drill is about attacking the opponent before the defense is set through outlets, advance passes, and post feeds.
• Ben Jacobson (3 Lane Running Drill) - A three-man transition drill that challenges players to communicate effectively and be perfect at passing, catching and making clean layups.
