INDIVIDUAL
DEVELOPMENT WORKOUT
Guard Workout - Dragon
Basketball
| Four
main objectives for guards on drives: |
| 1. |
Create space between
themselves and their defender. |
| 2. |
Go north and south on
drives don't belly out (straight to hoop). |
| 3. |
Put your body on the
defenders body on the start step. |
| 4. |
Take your dribble moves
right at the defender get them on their heels. If you
get beside them or get them on their heels, they are
yours. |
1. Warm up with 2 ball
dribbling.
- Stationary dribbling - Eyes
up, be ball quick.
- Control - both low below
knees (rhythm/non - rhythm)
- Speed - both balls high
(rhythm/non - rhythm)
- High-Low - one ball control
dribble, one ball speed dribble
- Add down the floor
dribbling (same as above) with a change of hands.
2. Shooting progression.
- Hold high one second follow
through.
3. 5 lay-ups clean, 2 free
throws clean.
4. Do the 7 dribble moves
with a finish at the basket.
- Start with a low body
balance base of support (LBBBOS).
- Have a compact economy of
motion.
- You make each move one from
the right side then one from the left side.
- Start by spinning yourself
a pass and catch down low.
- From here you circle tight
and make a good direct or crossover move.
- Start from just outside the
edge of the half court circle.
- After your finish at the
basket you spin a pass and open to the big part of the floor
while you catch facing.
- Then using the same move
you break a press up the middle to half court.
- Then make the same move on
other side.
- Then go back to the right
side and make the next move.
- Do this until you have made
all 7 moves on both sides.
Seven dribble moves:
a. Speed dribble - throw the
ball out, get their, straight line drive as quick as
possible.
b. Hesitation dribble - fast,
slow (higher dribble stand up a little), fast, straight line
drive.
c. In and out - head and
shoulder, fake a crossover move, take ball over and back,
keep ball in same hand.
d. Stutter step - at 3 pt.
line, squeak feet with a wide stance if defender is off you
shoot a 3 pointer, if not go to basket.
e. Stutter crossover - right to
left hand, crossover low, look at basket on stutter, explode
after crossover.
f. Between legs - from right
side you drive middle the defense turns you so you go
between the legs left to right hand, the angle you go
through the legs is important, the ball needs to go from
back to front toward the basket slightly.
g. Pull back crossover - using
a ball screen by the 3 point line, go in hard to wing then
use 2 pull back dribbles 1 crossover dribble, right to left
hand, then explode to basket, rub shoulders with screen.
Key coaching points on
dribble moves:
1. When you get to the 3 pt.
line use 1 dribble to get to the basket unless you hesitate
to take the help out.
2. Do the moves at full speed
game like conditions.
3. Step with same foot on all
drives, 60% of weight on permanent pivot foot.
4. Chin ball when shooting
lay-ups.
5. Circle tight with the ball
on direct and crossover drives. Tighten up your game. Don't
be lose with the ball. Be compact and have an economy of
motion.
6. Start and finish all moves
from a low body balance base of support LBBBOS.
7. Use all moves, but develop a
go to and counter move.
8. After move go straight to
the basket don't belly out.
9. Make moves right at an
imaginary defender. Get the defender on their heels.
10. Go -when you first catch a
pass, your the most open.
11. Use your weak hand in a 3
to 1 ratio.
5. Free throw swish (+2 -2).
- If you lose do 4 trips (4
dribbles down and 4 back, 3 to 1 weak to strong hand), or a
down and back weak hand.
6. 7 dribble moves pull up and
shoot jump shot.
- On all shots off the
dribble landing on balance and low is a must before you
shoot the ball.
7. Free throw swish.
- 4 trips if lose or 1 down
and back with weak hand.
8. 32 point shooting.
- Five spots on the floor:
baseline, wing, on top, opposite wing, and opposite
baseline.
- You make 3 moves from each
spot.
- The first is a 3 point shot
(worth 3 points), the second is a shot fake one dribble
drive to middle shoot jumper (worth 2 points) , and the
third move is a shot fake one dribble drive to middle lay up
(worth 1 point).
- So each spot is worth 6
points.
- At the end you shoot 2 free
throws (worth 1 point each) for a total of 32 points.
- You compete against
yourself.
- Make the moves at game
speeds be tight with your game.
- The drives to the middle
you will be using direct and crossover moves so step with
the same foot each time.
- The moves from the top you
can go either way, but be able to go both ways.
9. Free throw swish.
