One of the reasons why we as coaches always push our players hard in practices is so that when it comes to game time, they expect to play hard. Especially on fast breaks, we always tell our players to go all out.
One drill we like to do is a full-court 3 minutes - 3 man fast break drill.
- 3 man full court fast break, no dribbles
- have a coach or defender back at foul-line to force decisions
- break down into lay-ups with the weak-side player inbounding, centre player breaks to sideline
- the outlet is thrown to side-line, ball is thrown overhead down the sideline
In 3 minutes we set a goal of 20 baskets made, that's slightly more than 1 basket made every 10 seconds. Every basket less than 20 is another set of lines, pushups, stairs, etc..
If you're looking for a great DVD that is chalk full of great basketball and conditioning drills, check out Bruce Weber's DVD on 20 Competitive Drills. Lots of great discussions going on at the X's and O's of Basketball Forum so be sure to check it out.
