Somehow this happened 6 years ago. Friendly game between a selection of players from (London)and my hometown (Pedrola, Spain). That was fun indeed!

3v0 spacing lay up drill for beginners. . 1 pass to 2, 2 decides to go right or left of the cone, 1 and 3 to move on the same direction of the ball. Ex p2 dribbles right, 1 and 3 go right. You can make it simpler for younger kids by putting different color cones. Ex cones on left of each player are blue, on the right yellow. You can remove cones for older kids. You can ask them to do extra passes.

You can add 1-2 defenders to go and defend who ever they want so player with the ball has to look around and decide if going for lay up or pass to free player... Once again, basic drill to start with and open to any modification depending on what you want to work.

Pick & roll + shoot drill warm up. 1 asks for screen from 4, sets defense, change direction to screener. P&R and pass, 1 to 4 to finish, opens to receive a pass from 5, catch and shoot. Once 5 passes, goes to screen 2, who's already started changing directions.

Once again, this is just a basic drill that can be modified. Add defenders, different cuts, different screen angles... 4 can start with the ball instead of 1 for hand off, can add HO+repick... But focus on the angles, spacing, timing, different passes.

Fast break 3v0 continuous drill. There's another 3 people waiting behind baseline (this example for 12 players). P1 pass to one side (in this case right, P3) and runs all the way to receive pass from P6 and shoot. P3 receives and pass to opposite diagonal (P2) and rub to receive pass from P4 and shoot. P2 to try and finish with power lay up/dunk with no dribble. P5 under basket to box out and rebound without ball touching the floor. P2 and P3 to get their rebounds and pass to wings waiting. P4 and P6 start running as soon as they make their passes. Repeat.

Note: You can lower intensity and P2 allowed to dribble before lay up, as activation. Different moves of the players depending what you want to get from the drill. Player I the centre can be added as defender so it's a 1v1... Endless options.



Any doubts comment or DM.
