It doesn't matter if you're a tactical genius if your players don't have the ability to execute in games. Will Wade shows you how to develop the playmakers you need with 10 1-on-1 practice drills that will develop both sides of the ball. These competitive drills will help your players build a complete game. Your offensive options will expand with abilities to manipulate match-ups, utilize ball screens, and have individuals who can make something happen when all else fails.
Coach Wade's practices utilize as much 1-on-1 as possible. He incorporates 1-on-1 drills for a number of reasons:
Competitive 1-on-1 Practice Drills
These 1-on-1 competitive drills cover a variety of teaching points and can be used on a daily basis. They're sure to become your players' favorite part of practice. These drills enable your players to apply their hard work on skills into a game environment that will hard wire these moves into their brains. Learn how you can change the conditions to win in each drill to emphasize either side of the ball. Customize the drills to make them individual or team competitions. Wade also shares rules he implements to develop defensive toughness and scoring efficiency.
Several drills give your offensive players a slight advantage to help them learn how to score on the move and finish at the rim versus a hard contest. Starting with a half-court variation, Wade presents a version of 1-on-1 that requires absolute hustle to stop a would-be driver. With hustle, the defensive player should be able to get to the front of the charge circle and force a shot from that point.
Two drills highlight post play to involve your whole team. Learn how Coach Wade teaches his players to get position to maximize their chances of scoring. Help your posts learn how to keep their real estate by sealing defenders on ball reversal. Train your perimeter players to quickly and easily feed the post versus defensive pressure.
While all of these 1-on-1 drills develop your players on both sides of the ball, a few practice drills give a special emphasis to defense. Including:
