Drill - baseline chaos

A good drill to encourage communication, leadership, and quick-thinking. You can do this at camps, tryouts, elite workouts, or every day in practice. Puts stress on players, and also shows who is paying attention (or not).

Set up is single line at the baseline so that players are fed into the drill and it is obvious who is up next. Coach gives instruction with only enough time (1-2 seconds) for players to communicate and organize and get down court. Can just go down court one direction, or down and back. Can vary the finish at each end. Want to create chaos. Some combinations (can add in your own) are:

• 4 on 0 breakout
• 3 lane passing
• 5 on 0 breakout
• 3 person weave
• 5 person weave
• 3 lane passing with 2 balls
  
• 3 on 0 breakout
• 2 on 1, or 3 on 2 (designate defenders)
