NCHS Practice #3

Five minute warm up. "Progression of six?" Two lines form, one under basket as rebounder, one at sideline (left elbow extended). Rebounder toss ball to self off backboard. Outlet. Man receiving pass drive down middle of court, rebounder cuts to half court touch sideline, then cut to hoop. Dribbler does jump stop at free throw line and deliver bounce pass for layup. Passer catches layup out of basket, thereby becoming new "rebounder." Drill proceeds in same fashion back to original end of court. After everyone's gone through once, then repeat drill except starting on the other sideline. Miss layup = 5 pushups. Variation of drill: instead of layup, do pump fake ("rocket") then go up.

Fifteen minutes R&R (2 v 1 with defender coming to help on driver)
- point drive middle and dump to baseline cutter for layup
- wing drive baseline and kick to opposite corner for shot
- wing drive middle and corner circle to safety valve for shot
- corner and wing circle to wing and point, coach pass to point. Point read wing's man - if over read line, make back cut, otherwise pass and cut

Five minutes 1-2-3 rebounding. Three defenders line up in middle of lane: #1 is nearest FT line, #3 is nearest baseline, #2 is between them. Three players on perimeter. Coach passes randomly to a perimeter player and calls a number - and the defender who corresponds to that number boxes out the shooter. The other two defenders communicate to match up with a wing and box out. Offense rebound = 5 pushups.

Ten minutes shell drill, with offensive players driving after receiving pass. At that point the nearest available defender to help steps in and says "hey!" then recovers. If a baseline drive, help defender plants a foot out of bounds... and all players sink down low (yelling "sink" while doing so).

Ten minutes R&R post slides, 2 v 0
- wing drive baseline, post slide up lane
- wing drive middle, post slide to short corner

Ten minutes R&R post passing, 2 v 0. Passer into the post makes his next move based on D reaction:
- Laker cuts high (if man plays him low) and low (if man plays him high)
- Relocate to corner (if man collapses inside)

Ten minutes 5 v 0 R&R full court. Run the offense with no shots until...
- 3 players drive the lane
- 3 players pass and cut
- (add a coach defender) 2 players make a back cut
- post slides for a driver
- Laker cut is done
