PRACTICE DRILLS
▼ Ask yourself occasionally “Why do we do this drill? How often do we do this drill? Am I receiving the desired results?”
▼ Every drill should have a name.
▼ Each drill should be multi-purpose.
▼ Perform drills at the full court level, third-quarter court and half court level.
▼ Stress the importance of transferring the correct execution of drills to game situations.
▼ Drills require imagination and concentration.
▼ Most do not like drill, and you must sell the value of drill work.
▼ All drills must be competitive.
Teaching a Drill
1. Explain why drill is being performed.
2. Demonstrate the drill (slowly).
3. Ask for feedback.
4. Have players run the drill (half speed).
5. Make necessary corrections.
- Allow players to perform the drill at game speed.
1. Compete against clock.
2. Compete against opponent.
3. Compete against self.
▼ Drills should be timed (use score clock).
▼ Build a portfolio of drills that specially relate to your system of play and fundamental concepts.
▼ Vary the use of drills (protect against boredom).
▼ Stress enthusiasm…be a “vocal” coach…let them know you are watching.
▼ Hold each player to your highest performance standards.
Coach’s Responsibilities During Drill Work
1. Teach.
2. Motivate.
3. Discipline (not punish, stressing correctness, more a mental discipline than physical)
▼ Each drill should relate to the coaches system of play.
▼ Two of the most abused aspects of drill work are passing and cutting.
▼ Players tend to view drills as a conditioning exercise.
▼ The biggest challenge for a player during drill work is to concentrate on performance.
▼ Every drill must be placed at the most advantageous time during the practice period.
▼ New drills should always be introduced early in the practice period while the player’s concentration level is still high.
▼ Physically difficult drills should be followed by more pleasurable (fun) drills and vice-versa.
