1-on-1 DrillWe use this drill as both an offensive and defensive drill. Defenders try to stop the offense 1-on-1. The offensive player attacks and tries to beat his/her man 1-on-1. In this drill, each player has a partner (opponent) that he/she goes 1-on-1 against. Each pair has a ball. Use both ends of the court. The player with the ball starts at the top of the key and tries to make a move, or shoot the outside shot and score on the defender. The defender must stop the offense, box-out and get the rebound. The offense gets a point for (1) each basket made, (2) for each offensive rebound and (3) if the defender fouls. No second shots are allowed. Each pair keeps track of their score. Have post players paired up with post players, and guards paired up with guards. Play to 5 (each player gets five offensive attempts). At the end, the losers do 5-10 push-ups.Rotation (see arrows in the diagram) With this drill we want our offensive players working on their 1-on-1 moves... jab step, shot fake, dribble moves (in-and-out, crossover), etc. The offensive player must quickly attack the defender to simulate what really happens in a game... He/she can't just slowly back him down in the paint (which hardly ever happens in a game situation). In addition to running this drill from the top of the key, you can also run it with the players starting from either wing. |
