INDIVIDUAL DRILL

In this drill the player uses feints and pivots and moves the ball around
as he would in making passes with an imaginary guard in front of him.
The object of the drill is to develop the ability to properly handle the ball
under game conditions without the stress of having to time players cutting
for passes or having to pass around a guard.

The players learn to develop “feel or touch” that makes for better
passing and more individual cleverness.

TWO-MAN DRILL

The ball handling in this drill is similar to that used in the individual
drill, but the second man, a defensive man, is placed in front of the ball han-
dler. This defensive player attempts to knock the ball from the hands of the
other man, but avoids bodily contact and other usual fouls. The ball
handler may pivot and feint passes but cannot dribble or cut from his posi-
tion. The defensive man is added to discourage loose ball handling.

FIVE-MAN DRILL

In this drill the objective is the same as in the
- other drills on ball handling, to develop ball han-
@& @ dling ability and to build confidence in the play-
a ers. A defensive player B is placed on an offen-
=" sive player A in a square formation drill. Player
*s A moves the ball as in the other drills but has
an the added option of passing to one of the other
: players. The drill is sometimes used with the
& ‘e@ defensive man retaining his position in the center
© of the square until he hits the ball from the
offensive man’s hand or intercepts a pass. A
good method of rotating in this drill is to have B
guard A until A passes to C, then have A assume

the defensive position on C.

WALL DRILL

The bankboard or the wall may be used for this drill. The players
shoot the ball against the bank or wall, then jump into the air, throw it
against the surface again, alight, jump, rebound again. This drill is re-
peated for a great number of times. It is of great value in teaching the
ball handling involved in rebound work. One, two or three men may engage
in this drill at one time. An element of competition may be involved by
recording the number of rebounds made by each man in a given time.
