Team USA Basketball Drills

I was watching some of the Team USA Select basketball practice, and came upon three different non-contact drills that I will implement to our practices this next school year.  

The first drill is where they are working on the habit pass.  The habit pass is when a ball-handler drives baseline, the guard on the backside needs to float to the corner to create a passing outlet for him.  Here they drive baseline, and the guard floats to the corner for the habit pass.  After the ball-handler makes the pass, he cuts to the three-point line and receives a pass from the coach for a catch and shoot opportunity.

You can remix the drill several ways by allowing both ball-handlers to catch and drive for a lay-up, pull-up, floater, or whatever finishing move you would like.

Below is a simple ball-screen drill that I saw.  One change I will make is that I will not have coaches setting the ball screen, but have other players setting the screen.

Finally, here is a post up drill that we will do when we do our grd/forward break-downs.  It's a good way to get a lot of shots up on certain moves.  You can dictate which move you want them to perform each time.  It could also be used for guards if you have them flash to the three point line.
