Coaching beginner players in basketball game should be able to give high motivation and they should be strong in mastering the basic drills. Beginner basketball drills should be given gradually to form good players’ skills. Here are the drills:
First you should be able to dribble. Use right or left hand to dribble the ball correctly. Do not dip down your head when dribbling because your sight should always look for the right position to avoid an ambush and to pass the ball to your teammates. Once you can master the dribble, you must learn to do the defense. If you cannot, the ball will easily grabbed by the opponent. To do defense put your left hand in line with the chest to block the opponent to grab the ball. Then it’s the time for you to learn shooting. Hold the ball with two hands to shoot well. After that lift the ball up in front of the face, but rather up a bit, then you navigate the ball to the basket ring. Make sure the ball is directed toward the rectangular space in the area of basketball nets and both feet pointed to the position of the ring.
When you throw the ball, your power must come from both feet instead of hands, and your body must follow the shooting movement. Then you need to learn to do passing. You should always be ready and not just doing the quick ball passing to your friend, but must also be able to predict whether your friends can catch it later. If there is an opponent player blocking your way, make sure you know where your friend will run late so you can pass the ball accurately. After passing the ball, you have to keep moving so you’re ready to play again. If possible, you are standing near the ring, so your friends can pass the ball again and make you to do lay up to throw the ball into the ring. While your friend holds the ball, keep your distance, so your friend can easily pass the ball toward you. Finally you can try to learn rebounding.
You should be able to keep the ball away from the net while the ball bounce back. If not, your opponent has a chance to steal the ball. You also must know your opponent time to play defensive, and when there is a shot into the net, you should quickly get closer to the net so you can rebound the ball. A good rebounder is usually smart to divert the ball.
You should practice those beginner basketball drills regularly to enhance your best skill on playing basketball.
