Basketball drills in a group or team setting are especially helpful for practicing game-like situations. Unlike individual drills, group drills utilize both the defensive and offensive aspects of basketball at the same time. Players can rotate between different positions and gain valuable experience seeing how an entire team functions in a game.
300 Shots
Three hundred shots will include the entire group at the same time. Start at mid-court and blow the whistle to begin. The players will dribble at either hoop and take one shot. Players must dribble to the opposite hoop after one shot for their next shot. Allow only five lay-ups in the five-minute period, according to BasketballCoach.com. Players must make 300 shots in five minutes.
Five-Man Full Court Weave
Form five lines at the end of the court. Start the ball in the middle and pass to either side. Follow the pass all the way around the outside of the line. Continue passing the whole length of the court. According to coachesclipboard.net, this becomes a transition drill. The player who shot and the player who assisted the shot are on defense, and the other three players are on offense attacking the opposite side of the court.
No Dribbling Scrimmage
This drill is best with six or more players. Use half-court and play a normal game, but dribbling is not allowed on offense. Focus on passing, moving the ball, screening, and moving without the ball, according to BasketballCoach.com. Not dribbling keeps players focused on teamwork and unselfish basketball.
Lightning
Lightning is a classic basketball game the entire group can enjoy. Form a single line behind the three-point line or free throw line. The first two people in line get a basketball, and the front person shoots first. The second person can shoot once the first person's shot touches the rim. If the person behind you makes their shot before you, you are eliminated. Pass the ball to the next person in line as soon as your shot is made. Shoot until one player remains.
