Attacking Drills

Protect the Ball


- Students work in pairs with one as the attacker and one as the defender. The attacker has
the ball
- Cones are set up approximately 10 metres from the
base line. Each pair is to line up at the base line in
front of the cone
- The attacker is to dribble the ball to the cone, aiming
to maintain possession of the ball and protect it from
the defender
- The defender aims to knock the ball out of the attackers possession as they dribble towards
the cone
- Once the ball is knocked from the attackers hands, or they reach the cone, students rotate
roles and begin at the baseline again
Progression
- Change playing area
- Set up cones in ‘channel’ for students to stay in
- Increase dribbling distance
- Add time limit
KTPS
- Effective movement towards the cone
- Protection of the ball whilst dribbling
- Head up

Find the Free Cone


- Students are organised into groups of 4, with three attackers and one defender
- Each group works in a grid, with the attackers positioned on a cone (with one cone free) and
the defender in the middle of the grid
- The attackers aim to pass the ball to one another, focusing on moving to the free cone to
receive the ball
- The defender is to defend the pass and attempt to intercept
- Attackers continue passing around the grid, constantly finding
the free cone
- Students continue for given time, then rotate roles (new
defender)
Progression
- Change playing area
- Change number of players
- Limit number of passes or direction of pass, e.g. no diagonal
passes
KTPS
- Effective movement to find the free cone
- Hard and fast passes
- Head up
- Protection of the ball

5 and Shoot
- Students are organised into attackers and defenders with 5 attacking players and 4 attacking
players
- Students play a regular game of basketball, however only within one half (start at half way
line)
- Attackers are to pass the ball 5 times before having a shot on goal
- Defenders aim to defend the ball and prevent the attackers
from making a pass or taking a shot
- Once getting possession, defenders aim to get the ball to the
centre circle, with a point awarded if the ball is caught by a
defending player standing in the centre circle
- 2 points for a successful shot for the attackers, 1 point for
defenders getting the ball to the centre circle
- Students continue until given time or score
Progression
- Have even number of attacker and defenders
- Change playing area
- Change number of passes for attacking team
KTPS
- Effective movement on and off the ball
- Change of pace and direction
- Protection of the ball whilst dribbling
- Head up
