CIRCLE FAST BREAK DRILL

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a drill for the organization
of your fast break offensive system.
The players form a circle at the de-
fensive foul line. The ball is placed
on the floor in the middle of this
group. The coach calls the name of a
player. This player takes the ball
and the fast break is to be developed
as rapidly as possible using your type
of fast break offensive.

In the diagram C is called; he
happens in this case to be the center
who dribbles, pivots and passes to
your feeder man A; B and D are your
forwards. These men cut down the
sidelines to gain position for passes
from A for a short shot. The center
C could trail and be ready to lead the
offensive if A is forced to stop. This
is an example of the method of using
the drill in its application to a defi-
nite fast break set-up.

The drill can be varied by calling
a player and a command to dribble to
the center and pivot and feed a trailer
or some other phase which is involved
in your offensive for the fast break.

In this drill the men are formed in
a semi-circle and are given numbers.
The coach and a ball catcher or man-
ager may station themselves in some
position in the front court. The coach
will call the number and the man who
has that number must cut for the bas-
ket as soon and as fast as possible.

The drill teaches alertness, fast
starting, and the dribble and lay-in
shot.

Two or three balls may be used in
the drill by having the men who shoot,
take the ball off the bank and return it
to the ball-catcher. The ball catcher
places the balls at the side of the coach,

who picks up one of the balls and calls the number, feeds the man breaking.

Additional use may be made of this drill by giving combination com-
mands, such as No. 7 forward pivot—No. 3 cut and shoot. No. 7 must
break for the pass, use a forward pivot when the imaginary guard is
encountered and then feed the ball to No. 3, who must wait and time his
feed. Other fundamentals may be practiced with this drill.
