Basketball coaching from start to finish. How basketball players train: the secrets of the best mentors

Students are located in two columns at the intersections of the front line with the trapezoid. Only one player does not have a ball, he becomes the first in one of the columns and starts the exercise. A player without the ball runs around the post (on the foul line) and opens under the hoop to receive the ball and shoot. A player from the opposite column gives him a pass for a throw, and he runs around the bar and opens from the other side. Continue until someone scores 6 times.

DETAILS: - The throw is performed through the shield; - Without a run; - After the throw, the ball should not fall to the floor, you need to pick it up and go with it to the end of the opposite column

CHIPS: You can complicate this exercise if you add feints and steps before the throw.

Improving basketball skills: dribbling, shooting and passing.

Students are located in two columns on the center line on the right and left, on one side the first two / three players have balls. The player with the ball dribbles and shoots without rebounding, then runs to the end of the opposite column (where the players are without balls). The player from the column (where the players are without balls) must simultaneously move to the ring with the dribbler and pick up his ball, then pass to the player from the opposite column (where the dribbler moved from), the first one who stands without the ball, and stand at the end of this column. Until someone scores 6 times, then perform on the other side.

DETAILS: – While dribbling, look forward at the hoop – Rebound without letting the ball hit the floor – Starting the dribble without running

CHIPS: Most professional teams perform this exercise during the warm-up before the game.

Complex exercise in a circle

Improving basketball skills: dribbling, shooting and passing.

Students are located in two opposite corners of the site in columns, the first two / three people in the column have balls. On a signal, the players with the balls take turns dribbling and throwing. After the throw, you need to pick up your ball and pass to the player without the ball into the corner, and stand at the end of the column. 3 circles to the right and left

DETAILS: – While dribbling, look forward to the ring – After throwing the ball must not fall to the floor – Starting the dribble without running

CHIPS: You can hold a competition - the one who does this exercise with the least number of ball strokes wins.

Improving basketball skills: dribbling, shooting and passing.

Racks are placed on the court in a zigzag pattern (in two corridors), players without balls are located at the racks, the rest with balls stand in two columns in opposite corners of the court. The first player in the column gives a pass to the player at the nearest post and runs to his place, he in turn passes the ball to the next one and runs to his place. When the ball thus reaches the last player (in this corridor), he dribbles and shoots, then picks up his ball and goes to the corner of the court from where he will make the pass and move along another corridor. 1. Perform a side throw. 2. Do a medium throw. 3 circles to the right and left.

DETAILS: - No jogging - Dribbling and passing with the far hand from the ring you are moving towards - The player making the pass passes in front of the player receiving the ball

CHIPS: It is important to feel your partner, to adapt to each other.

Defender at the gate

We improve the skills of dribbling, throwing, defensive movements.

In two corridors, "gates" are placed (two posts at a distance of 4-5 meters) on the continuation of the penalty lines and on the central one, players without balls - defenders - stand in the "gates". The remaining players with balls are located in two columns in opposite corners of the court. Players must take turns dribbling through the corridor, passing through the “goals” and covering the ball, and at the end of the straight line, throw into the ring, then pick up the ball and stand at the end of the opposite column. Defenders in the "gates" try to stop the player and knock the ball out of him. 3 circles to the right and left.

DETAILS: – Do not break the double dribble rule – Goal defenders cannot move forward and backward, only left and right from one post to another – After one lap, you need to change goal defenders

CHIPS: You can beat a defender not only with the help of ball transfers, but also by changing the rhythm.

2v1 game

Improving the throw, passing, dribbling, defensive movements.

Students are located in two columns on the center line on the right and left, on one side all with balls. One player (defender) stands on the foul line. The first players in two columns form a pair of attackers, their task is to deceive one defender, to perform an open throw. If they managed to score the ball, then they again go on the attack in the columns on the center line, and the defender again returns to the penalty line. The one who made a miss / loss / mistake becomes the new defender, the other two form a new pair of attackers. 1. Just one attack. 2. Just one gear. 3. Without guidance. Until someone scores 5 times.

DETAILS: – You can’t break the rules of a run, double dribble, out, foul – After the game, you need to return to the center line on the sides so as not to interfere with the next pair – Start of the game only when the defender has stood on the foul line

1v1 game from the three-point line

Several students are located on the front line with balls, the rest stand in a column on the three-point line. On a signal, the player with the ball passes to the player on the three-pointer and becomes the defender. The player who received the pass tries to beat the defender with the help of various tricks and score the ball into the ring. If he succeeded, then he again goes on the attack (to the column on the three-point line), if not, then he takes the ball and goes to the defense (to the front line). Until someone scores 3 times.

DETAILS: - You can not violate the rules of jogging, double dribbling, out, foul; - You need to play with the selection and finishing of the ball; – The start of the exercise only when the previous pair has released the ring.

1v1 game across the court

We improve individual technical skills.

On a couple of balls, the exercise is performed in two corridors in a circle with an attack at the end. The attacker's task is to beat the defender with the help of transfers and deceptive movements, break through to the ring and complete the throw. Change roles with your partner in turn. Until someone scores 3 times.

DETAILS: - You need to move strictly in your corridor; - You can not violate the rules of running, double dribbling, out, foul; – Only one attack; – The start of the exercise only when the previous pair has released the ring.

Complex exercise with players

Improving basketball skills: throw and pass.

3-4 players without balls (playing along) stand along the sideline, the rest stand in two columns on the front lines with balls. Pass to the nearest player and move forward, the player returns the ball to you, then pass to the next player, etc. When the last player (in that lane) backs you up, you must receive the ball and immediately shoot. After the throw, you need to pick up your ball and stand at the end of the column. 1. Throw from under the basket. 2. Do a medium throw. 3 circles to the right and left.

On the three-point line, 3 racks are installed (in the center and on the sides). Students stand in a column to the center post, all with balls, except for one player, who gets up first and starts the exercise. On a signal, the player without the ball breaks into the three-second zone and exits to the right or left to the post where he receives the pass, then performs a turn on the ring, aim, feint and pass under the ring, followed by a throw. The player who made the pass breaks into the three-second zone and opens in the other direction to receive the ball and the subsequent pass, etc. 1. Passage to the front line. 2. Passage to the center. Until someone scores 6 times.

DETAILS: – Without jogging; - You can perform a feint for a throw, a pass, a pass, or any combination of these feints; - The throw can be from two steps or to a stop; - After throwing the ball, you need to pick it up and go with it to the end of the column.

DETAILS: - Without a run - After throwing the ball, you need to pick it up and go with it to the end of the opposite column

CHIPS: Convenient and timely transmission will help your partner to make an accurate throw.

Basketball- this is great team game, the team consists of players whose skills are achieved with great difficulty. The only person who can understand that you are working hard is yourself. Remember, you only get out of the game what you put into it. Give yourself to her without a trace.

Jump shot

In basketball, an outstanding sniper is a piece of goods. If you want to be a great sniper, all you need to do is just want to be one.

First, you must improve your craft.

This includes having a good coach and years of training. Secondly, you must improve in game mode.

This means that you must perform throwing exercises with the same intensity as in the game. It's far better to hit 100 shots in play mode than 500 sloppy shots that a good defender would never let you make in a game. Finally, you must understand that working on a roll is like investing in a bank. If you don't deposit anything into your account, you won't receive dividends when you need them.

The sniper must have a "throw school". When throwing after dribbling, one of the main features is the last hit of the ball on the court, which must be fast and strong so that it bounces higher, right into your hands - this will help you not waste time handling the ball.

Shots in pairs: using screens

In order to use the screen effectively, you must correctly "read" the defender's actions. You must always see the player with the ball and how the defender defends against you. A player who moves well off the ball and knows how to use screens correctly is very useful offensively. When you watch a match that has good players, notice how well they move off the ball. The hardest thing to defend against is a well-moving attacker.

How to teach basketball? Sovsport.ru talks about basketball teaching methods for coaches, physical education teachers, and also demonstrates exercises aimed at improving your level of play.

How to teach basketball? the site talks about the methodology of teaching basketball for coaches, physical education teachers, and also demonstrates exercises aimed at improving your level of play.

Where to begin?

First, you need to show elementary techniques, such as dribbling, and practice them. Jogging with the ball around the perimeter of the hall, exercises with the ball in place, “snakes” will help this. Here is a prime example of the latter.

The ideal dribbling exercise on the spot is the Saw. The essence is quite simple: just throw the ball right and left with one hand.

There are also variations of it, in which the ball must be moved back and forth or between the legs. True, in the latter you will already have to connect the second hand.

There is another good exercise, which can be conditionally called the “eight”. To perform it, you need to spread your legs a little wider than your shoulders and dribble the ball in such a way that it seems to describe the number "eight".

We work out transfers

For this, there are also several special exercises. If the players are beginners and need to practice catching the ball, then you can just play with the wall, like this guy does, for example.

“> After you have made sure that your wards can play with an inanimate partner, you can safely give them live ones. Have them pair up and look at each other. Of course, before practicing the performance of passes to each other, familiarize them with the technique of this element. You should pass both from the floor and through the air.

It is also worth working out the gears on the go. To do this, you start both lines behind the starting line and give all the balls to one of them. At the whistle, the player standing first in the column without balls runs forward, and his partner with the ball passes to him. After that, he himself makes a run and receives the ball “in return”. Passing among themselves, the pair runs to the opposite ring and returns back.

Teamwork

There is a wonderful exercise to practice it, which children love very much, since you have to run in it. Line up the players in a circle, leaving only one ball in it. The player with the ball gives it to his partner, after which he himself runs to his place. The player who received the pass does the same. It turns out a kind of Brownian movement, in which it is very important not to get confused.

throws

Let's start with free throws. Then you need to slightly diversify the development of this element, throwing from different angles, then to the right, then to the left. In general, to improve the quality of the throw, the game presented in the 4th minute of the next video is perfect.

Bilateral

So, all the basic elements of basketball have been worked out. It's time to try to put them into practice. The two-sided session is usually carried out in the last 10-15 minutes of the lesson. In front of her, the coach divides the wards into two teams so that they are approximately equal in strength. For the duration of the match, he becomes a referee who monitors the score and compliance with the rules. Athletes will get not only practice and experience from the game, but, above all, a lot of fun. And this means that they will want to play basketball again and again.

Teaching the basics of basketball.

Dribbling.

• 1. Dribbling: standing still, moving along the perimeter of the court, diagonally along the court, along the marking lines.
• 2. Leading with change: speed, direction; moving forward and backwards, with a change of hands, etc., reacting to various signals from the coach - voice, whistles, claps.
• 3. Dribbling two balls on the spot and on the move.
• 4. Game "Statue": free dribbling in motion (each player has a ball). At the signal of the coach, the players perform a stop (the one who did not stop in time receives a penalty point). The exercise is carried out for a while and forms the ability to stop in a timely and correct manner (by jumping or for two cycles).
• 5. Game "Catch the ball". Each player dribbles the ball within the court. 1, 2 or 3 players with balls (drivers) try to pin down the rest. The salted one himself becomes the leader. In the game, children learn to change their hands, direction, speed, move with their backs, etc. while dribbling.
• 6. Free dribbling by each player. On the instructions of the coach, the trainees change the way they lead when meeting with others (changing hands, turning, changing direction, etc.).
• 7. The game "Leader and followers". All players (followers) dribble the ball, repeating the movements of the leader (with a change in height, speed, with turns, etc.).
• 8. Free dribbling on the court by each player; stop at the coach's signal; turn to face the basket.
• 9. The game "Pass to yourself": tossing the ball up and down; fishing with a simultaneous stop; leading 1-3 m in any direction. Repeat movement.
• 10. Game "Wolf and sheep". Children (sheep) line up in three circles of the court (each player has a ball), and one (wolf) stands with the ball outside the circles. When the coach says: “There is no wolf here,” the sheep begin to move freely around the site (the wolf can also move, but should not

touch them). When the coach says, "Wolf is coming," the wolf can taunt those who are outside the circles (the sheep in the circles are safe). Those he hits become wolves, and the game continues. The purpose of the game is to teach children not to look at the ball all the time, but to use different types dribbling depending on the situation that arises during the game.

11. Game "Fisherman". All children (fish) line up behind the end line (each player has a ball), and one is in the center of the court (fisherman). On a signal from the instructor, the players begin to dribble, trying to reach the opposite end line and not allowing the fisherman to pin them down. Whoever he hits becomes a fisherman. At the beginning of the game, it is not necessary to pay attention to violations of the rules of dribbling: it is more important to form the ability to move quickly and choose the way of dribbling (Fig. 2.1).

Figure 2.1

12. Game "Signal". Children line up facing the coach (each player has a ball) and dribble on the spot. The trainer indicates the direction in which the children should move (right, left, forward, backward, etc.).

When the coach puts his hands down, the player can dribble in any direction. If he lifts up right hand, the player dribbles to the left (and vice versa). If the coach raises both hands, the player must dribble backwards.

13. Relay "Dribble with cones". The coach divides the group into two teams (each player has a ball). Children line up as shown in Fig. 2.2. On a signal, the first number in each team starts: dribbles the ball with one hand, with the other hand trying to knock down all the cones in its path, then quickly returns in the same way to pass the baton to the second number. That one, dribbling the ball with one hand, tries to raise the cones (the game is suspended if the cone is not raised), etc. The team with all the players who completed the task first wins.

Figure 2.2

• 14. Dribbling the ball around the perimeter of the court with a change in direction, speed, change of hands, turns, etc. (as directed by the coach).
• 15. Free dribbling throughout the court by each player. When meeting with another player, you need to exchange balls with him without stopping the dribbling, and then continue it.
• 16. Ball carriers line up in threes, fours, or fives along the endline. Opposite each player, at the level of the two free throw lines and the center line, there are posts. At the signal of the coach, the first group starts. At each stance, players may perform the following (or other) dribbling options:
  • * change of leading hand;
  • * movement back;
  • * speed change;
  • * driving with a turn;
  • * jump stop;
  • * 360° turn with change of leading hand.

Throwing the ball into the basket.

• 1. Throwing balls different weight and size in circles, baskets at different heights (from different distances).
• 2. Free throws for the basket.
• 3. Throws into the basket from the gymnastic bench.
• 4. Throws into a square painted on the wall, numbers; in a circle on the floor; into a circle held by another player.
• 5. Throwing the ball. You need to try to knock down the posts, hit other balls, stationary or moving, and various objects.
• 6. Throws into baskets of different sizes without a backboard.
• 7. Throws into the basket from different positions (straight, side right, side left, etc.).
• 8. Throws to the basket with scoring: 2 points - a clean hit; 1 point - the ball touched the ring; 0.5 points - the ball touched the shield. The first team to score the number of points set by the coach wins.
• 9. Game "21". The players are divided into two teams and line up at or near the two free throw lines. On command, the first number of each team throws the ball (for hitting 2 points). In case of a miss, the ball is rebounded and another throw is made without dribbling from the rebounding place (1 point is awarded for a hit). The second number in the team starts the throws when the first one has hit the basket or used both throws. The first team to score 21 points wins.
• 10. Game "Triangle". Children are divided into two teams (each player has a ball) and line up under two baskets, as shown in fig. 2.3. Mark three positions for throws (right, straight and left). The exercise starts simultaneously for both teams at the command of the coach. The player cannot advance to the next position until he hits the basket or uses three possible attempts. The first team to pass all three points wins. You cannot throw the ball from a new point until all team members have hit the basket or have used all their attempts.

Dribbling and throwing.

Drills that combine dribbling and shooting allow young players to improve their technique in game-like conditions and determine which technique to use and when in a given situation.

1. The game "All together to the basket." The players are divided into two teams (each has a ball) and line up along the center line of the court back to back, as shown in Fig. 2.4.

Figure 2.4

At the signal of the coach, all players begin to dribble, each to his own basket; perform throws to hit with 3 attempts; in case of hit or use of all attempts, while dribbling, they return to their places. The team that reaches the finish line first wins. The dribble can be started from various starting positions: sitting, kneeling, lying on your back, etc. Throws can be made after stopping or while moving.

• 2. Relay with dribbling and throwing. Children are divided into two teams (each player has a ball). On a signal, the first number of each team starts dribbling, stops, makes a throw. If the player hits the basket immediately, he returns to his original position, otherwise he can use 3 more attempts. In case of failure, he returns to his original position. The team with the most successful throws in a certain time wins.
• 3. Same as exercise 2, but each player has only one throw attempt. The second number starts after the first one throws.
• 4. Slalom dribbling relay. Children are divided into two teams (each player has a ball). The game is played as shown in Fig. 2.5.

7. Slalom relay halfway. Children are divided into two teams (each player has a ball). On a signal, the first number of each team starts and dribbles the ball between the marks to the basket; stops, makes a throw (1 attempt). The second number starts when the first picks up the ball. The team that makes the most successful throws in a certain time wins (Fig. 2.8).

• 6. Exercise in pairs (one ball per pair). Passing the ball "to the exit" (a player without the ball raises one hand, asking a partner to pass to this hand; step towards the ball; catching the ball).
• 7. Exercise in pairs, standing side by side. Passing the ball behind the back with one hand.
• 8. Game "Train". The group is divided into several teams. Members of the same team stand or sit one behind the other, as shown in Fig. 2.9. The game starts at the coach's signal. Each player passes the ball to the partner from the end of the column forward, after which he runs to the head of the column. The first team to reach a certain mark with the ball wins.

Summer is coming and many of you guys after a long winter will want to fresh air play ball. Football, basketball, volleyball, handball - everything will benefit you. But if you set yourself goals not only for health, but also, so to speak, for sports, you want to master the right techniques, then we advise you to study in our schools designed for beginner players. Today we open basketball courses. Honored Master of Sports Sergey Belov will conduct the classes. His name is widely known both in our country and abroad. He is an 11-time national champion, 4-time European champion, 2-time world champion, Olympic champion 1972. Now he works as a coach in his former club - CSKA.

Playground - do it yourself

First of all, you guys will have a question: where to play? If there is no summer sports ground nearby, then prepare it yourself.

Find a more even place somewhere in the calm so that the wind does not interfere - behind the house, in the park, in the clearing ... Cut off the bumps with a sharp shovel, fill in the holes, tamp. With large depressions, you will have to tinker a little longer: their bottom must first be loosened, and when adding soil, moisten it. Otherwise, the bedding will crumble soon.

A sandy place where water does not stagnate would be ideal. If you have enough strength, dig up the entire future field, level it with a rake and roll it, wetting the surface.

Even more reliable platform with a special layer. Its composition is one-third clay and two-thirds sand with construction debris (it usually contains small chips, brick chips, earth, lime). Before laying, it is advisable to sift the special layer through a fine screen.

In a low place, for better drainage, it would be good to lay two layers (each up to 8 cm) of gravel under the special layer: down - larger, at the top - small. Each layer is watered and rolled.

It is convenient to mark the basketball court with a solution of lime, applying it to the ground with a brush through a stencil - planks knocked down in parallel with a 5-centimeter longitudinal gap between them.

At the ends of the court, in front of the end lines, dig in poles for basketball backboards (180X120 cm). If you can get bent metal trusses, that's even better. Attach mesh rings to the shields. The standard height of the basket above the ground is 305 cm. For mini-basketball, lower the rings lower (260 cm).

On this site you can also play volleyball, if you work a little more - dig poles into the ground to attach the net. Dig nests for them (80 cm deep) inside the basketball field, one or two meters from the middle of the sidelines. Poles are easy to make from iron pipes. Drill them through, insert hooks and secure with nuts. If, for fastening a volleyball net on two posts, put not 4 hooks, but, say, 16 or 20, then it will be easy for you to vary the height of the upper edge. After all, the younger the players, the lower the grid.

In official competitions, the height of the net for men and older boys (17-18 years old) is 243 cm, for boys 15-16 years old - 235 cm, for women and older girls - 224 cm, for girls 15-16 years old and boys under 14 years old - 220 cm and for girls up to 14 years old - 210 cm.

So that volleyball poles do not interfere with playing basketball, remove them from the site, and close the nests with special bosses - a round board (diameter according to the size of the nest) with a handle in the center. This handle sinks into the socket and prevents the boss from moving when stepped on.

And now for some general issues basketball training.

Basis for success

Basketball is played with hands, but only those who have strong, fast legs achieve great success in it. Therefore, if you, beginner basketball players, dream of learning how to play well, then do not be lazy to perform as many diverse leg exercises as possible - for strength, jumping ability, and speed of movement.

I really liked the expression of the famous hockey coach Anatoly Vladimirovich Tarasov “fast power”. In his articles and books, he emphasized that it is not enough for an athlete-player to be just strong, he also needs to prepare himself physically in order to be able to use this strength quickly and deftly. And so he offered the hockey players of CSKA and the USSR national team strength exercises, most often in motion, in dynamics. So I advise you, future basketball players, to do the same: in each exercise, combine strength, speed and dexterity. And focus on a variety of jumps - they are most useful for you.

Where to watch a basketball player?

Different sports games have different laws. For example, in table tennis or tennis, the main methodological rule is to carefully look at the ball: both before and during it, and even after, when the ball flies off the racket. But in basketball, on the contrary, it is advisable not to look at the ball. When dribbling, passing, throwing a basket, feints before each of these techniques, and even partially when catching, you need to monitor the tactical situation on the field, and control the ball almost automatically, without visual control. Only this kind of ball handling technique will allow you to use the opportunity that suddenly appeared at any time in the match.

The trouble with many of our players is that from childhood they got used to control the ball, looking at it, and not at the whole site. And now the ball, as it were, binds them hand and foot. I myself also made the same mistake when performing my favorite technique - the jump throw. No one told me in my youth that when sending the ball into the basket, you need to look at the goal. So I followed the flight of the ball with my eyes, which reduced the accuracy of hits.

I advise you, young basketball players, from the very beginning of training to get used to overcome the constraining influence of the ball. I know you'll want to look at the ball. But be persistent and patient and suppress such a desire in yourself.

How to hold the ball?

If you acquire the habit of holding the ball correctly from childhood, then in the future you will get rid of many technical errors. So take my advice more carefully.

Of course, it is difficult for a child with small hands to correctly grasp a large basketball. It is more convenient for kids to hold it, and catch it, and throw it, and lead it with the whole palm. But you can't get used to it.

The starting position of the player holding the ball must be the same in all cases, it does not change before throwing, dribbling or passing. Do not touch the ball with your palms. Hold it with your fingertips, squeezing with both hands.

I know that the Americans make special gloves with bosses in the middle of the palms. In such gloves, students willy-nilly control the ball with their fingers, without touching it with their palms. We do not use this simple device. It's a pity...

I'm sure everyone young amateur basketball player will be able to put something in his glove - at least a thick rubber eraser - and master it correct technique ball control.

Doing

The question may arise: why do I advise you to start mastering the technique of basketball with dribbling, and not, say, with a more interesting technique - a shot at a goal? I will answer: if you are still a few years old, then you simply cannot learn how to throw the ball correctly at the basket, even if it is mounted on a mini-basketball backboard. Too much weight on the ball will distort your movements. And when you gain strength, it will be too late to correct the throwing technique. But the right dribbling is available to children even of primary school age...

It is important for a novice player to get used to the ball so that it does not become a burden in the future, does not distract attention. Driving, or dribbling, just develops this ability to "get rid of the ball." Those who neglected this rule in their youth are now paying the price for a long-standing methodological error in important matches.

The first requirement for any technique is reliability. After all, the most dangerous and offensive in the game is the loss of the ball. Do you know when dribblers most often lose? Then, when the player at least for a moment lowers his head down. An experienced defender watches for such moments and attacks the dribbler.

Here, so that in the future you do not have such disappointments, try to master the dribbling without visual control of it. How to achieve this?

Pick up a frame for your glasses in size and glue a sponge or foam rubber two fingers thick to the bottom. This is enough to not see the ball below. Wear these glasses and do all the exercises in the lead.

I can’t understand why in most of our sports schools children are embarrassed to train in special glasses? But in the homeland of basketball, in the USA, kids are beginning to master the dribbling in such glasses. By the way, overseas athletes use this method of improving their dribble up to, one might say, full basketball maturity - up to 18-20 years.

Which ball to choose for dribbling training? If you are 13-14 years old, you can use an ordinary basketball. And if you start to learn the basics of the game earlier, then a mini-basketball ball is more convenient. But I do not advise taking a children's rubber ball, although it is lighter. Its smooth surface will not give you the opportunity to acquire a specific feeling from contact with a small-sized basketball, which plays a significant role in developing precise and almost automatic movements.

When dribbling the ball without visual control, do not be embarrassed by its frequent losses. At first, this is inevitable. And I even think that it is more convenient to master this technique in independent studies, in particular at home: there no one will reproach you for the inevitable frequent failures at first.

When dribbling, do not let the ball bounce off the floor above the waist. Hit the ball with force on the court so that it quickly ricochets off it. As if intercepting the ball halfway and then again vigorously push down.

In beginners, I often see typical. another mistake: they sluggishly hit the ball on the floor, causing its speed to quickly fade. The player has to "search" the ball with his hand, lower his head for this, which, as you already know, should not be done.

Later you will need to master dribbling at different heights, because in the game each option is beneficial in a certain situation. Let's say, when beating a defender from a place, it is better to use low dribble, and when leaving for a fast break - high dribble. But now, at the beginning of training, strive to practice low bounce dribbling more often. Although this is the most difficult option(legs with strong bending quickly get tired), but at the same time the most reliable. By frequently touching the ball, you can instantly change the direction of movement, cover the ball with your body and legs from the player attacking you.

Hand movements during dribbling should be quick, but smooth. Do not slap the ball with the palm of your hand, but push it down with a movement mainly of the hand and part of the forearm.

Challenge yourself to learn how to dribble equally well with either hand. If you are right-handed, polish your dribbling with your left as often as possible. This will come in handy in future matches. There, in a free environment, it is more profitable to dribble with the left hand, this will give rest to the right hand, free it from unnecessary loads, and preserve the freshness that is so necessary when performing complex techniques. It makes no sense to describe specific exercises. Invent any - all will benefit. Start by doing on the spot. Then improve your dribbling on the move - with stops, starts, turns, transferring the ball from hand to hand, etc. The more reliable you control the ball, the more confident you will feel in matches, which is important for success in the game.

It is desirable for a basketball player to master dribbling to perfection. But I will warn you in advance: in games, do not get carried away with frequent and long dribbling - this will slow down the development of your team's attacks. By the way, highly technical Georgian basketball players suffered from such a “sin”. And in order to wean them from aimless dribbling, the former Dinamo Tbilisi coach even used such a methodical technique, flooded the summer clay ground with water - and dribbling became impossible, the players were forced to develop an attack with the help of passes, as the honored master of sports and honored coach wanted USSR Otar Korkia.

target attack

The crown of the basketball attack is throwing the ball over the basket. You, young basketball players, can move on to mastering this technique after you have mastered the dribbling.

There are many ways to throw. Start with the easiest one - throw with one hand from under the shield. And immediately put your left hand into action. Let's say three throws with the right, then six with the left. With this ratio, you have a chance to learn how to equally successfully hit the target from either side of the ring, which will come in handy in the future, especially when completing fast breaks.

First, position yourself at an angle (about 30 degrees) to the backboard and throw the ball with a reflection from it. It will start to work out regularly - move two meters away from him and throw with your right hand (if you are not left-handed) right into the ring, without the ball bouncing off the shield.

Make the first throws with a high trajectory, although this is not easy to do at close range. But you will get used to correctly determine how the ball will fly to the target, acquire a special sense of throw. Later, throw alternately with your right and left hands.

Each time you become confident in hitting the basket, increase the distance by about a meter and continue to fire at the target. And not only from a point directly opposite the shield, but also to the side of it and at an angle of 45 degrees.

You, the young ones, will certainly want to try a long-range shot from behind the 6-meter line. But I don't recommend doing it. Do not chase the masters - after all, they are perfectly prepared physically and throw from afar without undue stress. Your main task is to master and consolidate the correct throwing movements. Therefore, while lengthening the distance, follow first of all the technicality, and not the effectiveness of the throws. At your age, it is better to hit only once in ten attempts, but perform all the movements correctly, than, say, hit the target five times with a violation of technique.

I advise you to perform any throw - both from the game (both from the support and in the jump), and free throw - to perform the same way: with one hand, with monotonous movements. This will increase the accuracy of basket attacks.

It is most convenient to hone the technique of this technique in standard conditions - with free throws.

free throw

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of free throws for the outcome of a basketball game. The point here is not only in the points scored by throws from the standard position, but also in the psychological superiority of those who accurately hit the target with these throws. When every foul is penalized with two or three points from free kicks, opponents lose confidence in defensive play. And recently, with the introduction of the new one-one rule, the importance of hitting the basket from behind the free-throw line has become even more important: if you shoot the first ball, you get the right to the second shot, and if you miss, the ball will be counted. as the rules are interpreted, “in the game”, and basketball players will immediately fight for him under the shield.

Now let's talk about the free throw technique. I did it like this. In the initial position, distribute the body weight evenly on both legs. Socks put a little wider than the heels. Taking the ball from the referee, first hit it on the floor. The usual preparatory action set me up for a throw, and in the same one and a half to two seconds I lowered my shoulders, relaxed my muscles, as if relieving tension from a reckless, temperamental game typical of a basketball game.

I tried to perform all the details of the reception uniformly. Therefore, he always took the ball in his hands in the same way: so that the index finger was located exactly in the middle, that is, it would cover the longitudinal seam on the surface of the ball (these seams resemble meridians on a school globe).

First, I lowered the ball down, inhaling and exhaling. Then he carried the ball up with both hands, slightly above his head, but not too high, but in such a way that he could see the target from under him and at the same time not straighten his arms at the elbows. Otherwise, if you straighten your arms in advance, you would have to throw with the effort of just one hand, which is clearly not enough.

Then I shifted the ball to the right hand, bent back, and slightly supported it with the left until the throw began to move. If someone looked at me carefully from the front. I would have made sure that my hand (more precisely, my index finger), elbow and shoulder were in a straight vertical line.

Before the throw, I slightly bent my knees, and starting the throw, I straightened them and slightly rose on my toes, slightly lifting my heels off the floor. This movement helped to throw the ball with the right force.

For the accuracy of the throw, the movement of the right hand is especially important. First, a smooth straightening of it in the elbow joint begins, then a “nod” with a brush is added to this. In its final movement, the hand, as it were, overtakes the arm, which straightens out after the ball goes into flight.

At the moment the ball was released from my hand, my entire body from socks to fingertips stretched like a string. The ball came off the index finger. A "nod" with a brush corrected the direction of the ball's flight and gave it a reverse spin. This technical detail is quite important. The stronger the rotation of the ball, the better: the ball is more stable in flight. Conversely, a ball flying without spin wags slightly in the air. Remember the Japanese volleyball serve. Athletes deliberately hit the ball in such a way that it does not spin in flight - this is its trajectory and is complicated by unpredictable zigzags. Deviations from the direct path reach almost a meter. The heavier basketball has much less zigzags, but they are also undesirable.

In addition, by spinning the ball towards you, you increase the chance of hitting the target. Hitting the backboard or the far side of the hoop, the spinning ball will fall down into the net. And even if he doesn’t get into the basket, he bounces off the ring softly and not far - such a ball is convenient for picking up.

In addition to rotation, the trajectory of the ball is also important. I advise you to first send the ball to the goal in a high, steep arc. Later, you can easily move on to throws not with such a long, but with optimal traction. But if you get used to the low trajectory of the throw, then getting rid of the error will be much more difficult. The ball will endlessly hit either the front or the far arch of the ring and bounce into the field.

In order to accurately perform free throws, learn to remain calm during matches, not to give vent to your emotions. I, for example, have taught myself not to be angry with an opponent even if he hit me painfully on the arm.

Another psychological moment: the player must be one hundred percent sure that he will execute the throw accurately. That kind of confidence is developed in training, when you send the ball into the basket over and over again.

I've always had a desire to rehearse free throws. They brought me pleasure, especially the “clean” ones, in which the ball fell into the net without touching the hoop of the ring.

Some basketball experts and scientists claim that a player is required to make 150 free throws daily. I personally have never counted the number of standard throws made. But I made it a rule not to leave the site until I feel automatic in my movements, until I have complete confidence in the hits.

At the beginning training session I have never thrown a free kick. I tried to warm up beforehand so that the brush became warm. My warm-up exercises were simple: squeezing and unclenching the brushes, shaking them, circular rotations. It is important for a player to feel the ball, so I drove him and rehearsed passes. When I noticed that the ball seemed to burn the palm, then I considered the warm-up completed.

For a young basketball player, the key to success is the right technique and a large number of repetitions of the technique. Feel free to throw at the target even for half an hour a day, although this is not so interesting. Remember that with your monotonous throws you will be able to firmly fix, stabilize the movements of the hand. This skill will come in handy later, when mastering the jump throw.

If you start to fail, analyze your movements. Better yet, ask for advice from an experienced player, or coach, or teammate - let him look at your penalty from the side. Young basketball players often make typical mistakes. Remember them.

The player is in a hurry to throw, does not use all the time allocated for this - 5 seconds. As a result, faster than in training, the pace of the execution of the technique violates the usual coordination of movements.

Typical mistakes of young basketball players at a free throw.

Inexperienced players often focus their thoughts on that. whether they hit the target or not. It is clear that everyone wants to get into the basket. But you need to follow the correctness of your movements and think only about it.

The player places the ball on the whole palm, and not on the fingers of the right hand.

Insufficiently high clearance of the ball to the head interferes with aiming.

Separating from the hand, the ball comes off not from the index, but from the other finger

The rotation of the ball in flight is very weak.

The trajectory of the ball is too flat.

At the end of the throw, after releasing the ball, a beginner basketball player often immediately pulls his right hand back. And you need, on the contrary, after the throw, freeze for a second with a straight outstretched arm. The psychological attitude to such a nuance of technique involuntarily contributes to the smoothness of the previous movement of the hand.

Here, an outside observer will help you get rid of all these mistakes - a coach or a partner whom you need to ask for help.

Passing and catching the ball

Passing the ball can be considered, without much stretch, a means of communication between basketball players during a match, a kind of conversation between them. For, together with the ball, the player supplies the partner with the initiative, as if sharing with him the idea of ​​​​the possibility of making the next tactical move useful for the team. But we will postpone the conversation about the nuances of game interaction for the future, and now we will analyze the technique of passing and catching the ball.

In our last lesson, beginner basketball players learned how to hold the ball correctly: squeezing it with your fingers, without touching the middle of your palms. If you lower the ball almost to waist level, slightly bend your legs at the knees and put one slightly forward, then this will be the starting position from which it is convenient to pass with both hands from the chest. This transmission option in the game is the main one, such passes are the most accurate and reliable, and it is with them that I advise you to start mastering the technique.

You can perform the transfer from the chest at any time, because it does not require any preparatory movements. Sharply straightening your arms at the elbows, you send the ball to a friend unexpectedly for the opponent, depriving him of the chance to intercept your pass.

I will draw your attention to two important details of the reception. Straighten your elbows to the end and at the same time do not take them to the sides. Let them move in a vertical plane.

With the final movement of the brushes, twist the ball towards you. If executed correctly, you will get the impression that you are trying to spin the ball with the efforts of your thumbs. Such a ball flying with reverse rotation is convenient for a partner to receive - it does not jump out of his hands.

If we film the pass with both hands from the chest and then scroll it in the opposite direction, then on the screen we will see how to catch the ball. First, stretch your arms towards the incoming ball. Then meet it with the brushes, making at the same time a yielding movement with the hands to soften the blow of the ball against them. Then firmly squeeze the ball with your fingers and pull it to your chest (do not take your elbows to the sides).

All basketball players catch the ball in approximately the same way, but they pass it in different ways. There are many ways to transfer. They are chosen depending on the game situation and personal inclinations. With two hands, for example, you can pass the ball from behind the head or from the side, through the air or with a hit on the floor. And I can’t even describe all the options for passing with one hand - there are so many of them.

It is enough for you, novice players, at first to master the transfers with one hand from the shoulder and from the side above the head - the “hook”. The advantage of one-handed passes is that they can send the ball quite far.

Do not forget to practice gears not only with your right hand, but also with your left hand. After all, in the game you will have to use the hand that is farther from the opponent.

The simplest training exercise is passing and catching the ball at the tennis training wall (or at the wall of the gym). Get up closer to the wall, then further away from it and throw the ball into it, then stronger, then weaker, then higher, then lower, then a little to the side. Having mastered the basics of reception, try to practice with two balls at the same time: until one, bouncing off the wall, hits the floor. send another ball into the wall. If you stand in the corner of the hall, it will be convenient to alternate different gears, in particular with one hand to the side.

To develop dexterity and hand strength, it is useful for you to throw stones, imitate basketball passes. stuffed balls. But at the same time, try not to distort the technique of movements you have already mastered.

The next stage of your improvement will be transmissions in motion. This is where you need a partner. Pass the ball to each other on the run, calculate the speed of the ball and your partner, get used to coordinating the power of the pass with the distance to your friend. The skills acquired in this way will later help you out in the game.

Jump shot

Now in the matches of the teams of masters, it can be said that the previously common options for throwing the ball along the chain have become, one might say, a vanishing rarity - with two hands from the chest, two hands from the head, or one hand from the spot. All of them are almost completely superseded by the most modern way basket attacks from medium or long distance - jump shot. By using this term, we mean that the basketball player throws the ball with one hand.

When I myself played in competitions, I got the lion's share of my points with just such a throw. I know well that although it is very effective, it is quite difficult to implement. In order to successfully use the jump throw later, you, novice players, need to carefully learn it now and consolidate the new skill well.

So where is the main difficulty in this case?

I will share my own experience It was very difficult for me to correctly coordinate the movements of the throw due to the fact that the lower part of the body must be very tense, and the upper, on the contrary, relaxed. What will help you achieve this, I would say, unnatural state for a person?

A good, high jump is decisive for success. Under this condition, being in the air for a second or two, you will have time to relax your shoulder girdle and correctly complete all phases of the throw in the right rhythm.

At a time when your team is developing an attack, always be ready to throw That is, even before receiving the ball - with sharp jerks. stops, feints to free yourself from a defender guarding you - maintain high muscle tone, move on elastic, tense legs. And as soon as you get the ball from your partner in a position convenient for throwing, immediately jump, starting the throw.

I will show you the main phases of the jump shot. The first of these is receiving the ball with forward movement. By rushing towards the ball, you reduce the chances of your opponent to intercept the pass and gain yourself a fraction of a second for a smoother shot.

I take the last step before stopping very quickly, and put my foot on the floor from the heel - this is a stop step, which helps to strengthen the subsequent repulsion from the platform.

The fingers grip the ball tightly - you already know this standard way of holding it.

The second phase - "replanting". Quickly bringing my right foot to my left, I simultaneously bend my knees in order to then jump higher. By the way, volleyball players do the same, preparing to jump up from the net. From now until the end of the throw, I will be looking at the hoop of the basketball hoop.

The third phase is repulsion and removal of the ball up. The stronger the push with both legs, the closer to the maximum you will take off. In direction, your repulsion should be strictly vertical. If you get into the habit of jumping a little forward, then in the game you will run into a defender and get fouls. And if you jump slightly back, then it will make it difficult for you to throw: the load on your right hand will increase, it will take more effort to throw the ball to the target. Such throw options are only possible for the master, and your current task is to master the basic reception scheme.

The position of the hands with the ball above the head is the same as in the free throw: the right elbow is facing forward, the ball lies on the fingers of the right hand bent back, left hand only slightly supports the ball from the side. With the ball held high, nothing prevents you from seeing the target.

In this position, I sort of freeze while I take off into the air. And here the main task is to relax the shoulder girdle, if this could not be done earlier, at the very beginning of the ball being carried from the chest up.

I know it's not easy to learn. The fact is that at the bottom you need to hold the ball firmly with your hands, otherwise the opponent can knock it out. Shoulders should not be tense. Even the masters are not always able to perform this detail of the technique. Then they relax the shoulder girdle a little later, being already in the air after repulsion. The most accurate shooters in basketball are those players who can relax their upper body before throwing the ball.

And finally, the fourth phase is the completion of the throw. Throwing the ball is best at the moment when you reach the highest point of take-off. Do not try to hover in the air - this will complicate the throw. And sending the ball to the target prematurely will prevent you from completing the very important last stroke of the hand forward, correcting the accuracy of the ball's flight. True, the masters are trying different options here too, but I advise you, novice players, to learn how to throw the ball is always monotonous.

Don't forget the ball throwing rules I told you about earlier in the free throw section. Just clearly perform a “nod” with the right hand forward. Straighten your right arm at the elbow. Hold it at the top for a moment, do not pull it back after the ball leaves your fingers - all this will set you up for a smooth and seamless execution of all the details of the reception.

For more than seven years I have been working at the CSKA children's sports school specialized in basketball. Here I happened to see many examples of teaching children to throw in a jump. And I was convinced more than once that not only beginners, but also those students who already play in competitions, often have flaws in the technique of performing this technique. Therefore, I want to warn you against common mistakes. What are they?

Some guys don't succeed in stepping before pushing off - the last step with a simultaneous squat. Instead, they jump - jump with both feet to the place from which they are going to push off to jump. By this detail, one can recognize those who have weak legs. These basketball players are not able to jump high. If you notice the same drawback in yourself, then “pump up” the strength of your legs.

Someone slowly, at the same pace, takes the last two steps before stopping. And they need to be done faster, sharper than, say, the previous steps when dribbling or when entering a shooting position without the ball. Then your jump will be higher.
