1-on-1 Practice Drills

When structured appropriately, 1-on-1 drills can be great for individual development.  We like to put constraints on the 1-on-1 drill such as:

  • 2 or 3 dribble max
  • Players only score on defensive stops.  If a player gets a stop, he stays on defense
  • Play to 3 or 4 - this places more emphasis on the defensive component of the drill
  • Post players can start on the block - makes perimeter players have to learn to defend in the post
I am sure there are lots of other variations or rules that could be used, but these are some that we are going to focus on this off-season.  I am including some other 1-on-1 type drills for you to look at.  As always, modify them to fit your system or philosophy.

Basketball Skills Checklists

Here are some great resources that you can use to help develop player workouts for this off-season.  I think these lists provide a great foundation for developing a list of basketball skills.  I would probably want to break it down into specific age appropriate skills for our program.  Hope they help your off-season development.


Chicago Bulls Sets

Here some great set actions ran by the Chicago Bulls.  I appreciate the offensive spacing and movement within these actions.  Hope they help you in your preparations for next season.
