Welcome to the Basketball Drill Database!
Below you'll find 200+ drills organized into two main sections.
1. Skill Drills
These are your foundations. Mostly on-air drills that isolate a specific skill: shooting, finishing, dribbling, passing, rebounding, and defending. They're designed to sharpen skills, build confidence, and give your players the technical foundation they need before adding defenders and decisions.
2. Small-Sided Games
Once players understand the skill, this is where they learn to use it. This section starts with all your 1v1 drills, then builds into a range of offensive, defensive, and transition small-sided games. These emphasize decision-making, spacing, reading advantages, defending actions, and playing in realistic situations.
The plan is to continue growing this drills database over time, whenever we find effective drills worth adding.
As I mentioned in a recent email, we’re still putting the finishing touches on the database - formatting updates, image replacements, there are several duplicate drills, and a few other things.
But as it's the basketball season and I knew you’d get a ton of value right away, I wanted to give you access ASAP.
