Three on three basketball can and should be used to develop your team’s offense because the games can be altered in many ways in order to fit your offensively philosophy. At yesterday’s practice, we worked on multiple variations of three on three basketball in order to help develop our team offense and defense (which will be covered in the next post). Each game was to one point and the loser would rotate off while the winner stayed and played the next team.
Using 3 on 3 to Develop Your Team’s Offense
FREE Elite Basketball Bootcamp Workout (Video)
The Elite Basketball Bootcamp is in full swing and the athletes are really starting to see the benefits of the hardcore training. With the workouts being outdoors and no weights available, we are hitting it hard with body weight training, sand bags, kettlebells, speed and agility, and plyometrics. Not to mention the intense finishers and core training that we close each session off with.
12 Cone Ballhandling Drill (Video)
By randomly placing 12 cones inside the lane, you create tighter spaces through which the ballhandler must navigate through while making their moves. These tight spaces force the player to make their moves. It also requires them to work on their footwork in order to be able to change directions quickly.
What Ever Happened to the Back-Dribble?
About two weeks ago, I was at an AAU event promoting my new recruiting service for high school student athletes called The Highlight Reel and I was able to catch a few of the basketball games. Although the skill level was high and the games were exciting, I could not help but notice that something was glaringly absent from every player’s game…the back-dribble.
Post Relocation Drill
The post relocation drill is a great drill to use if you are working out a guard or wing and a low post player. This drill will teach the post player how to relocate on different angles of penetration from the guard or wing player while allowing them to learn to make that pass to the post players in their new area. At the same time, it teaches the post player how to score from those areas with proper footwork and solid finishing moves.
