with Geno Auriemma,
Five-time Women's Basketball National Championship Coach;
6X National Coach of the year
Naismith Hall of Fame, over 30 Big East regular season and tournament titles

Ensure that your drill work transfers from practice to the game.

Geno Auriemma presents half- and full-court offensive drills that are a part of his daily practice. Through these drills, Auriemma demonstrates the key to good team offense: The ability to pass, catch, dribble and shoot.

He shows his 2-man passing full court drill, 2-line layup drill, 3-man weave half court and full court drills, and then begins his full court transition offense with his 3-man transition drill, then adds a player to go 4-on-0, finally reaching 5-on-0 transition. These drills replicate a game-like atmosphere and really work on pushing the defense for a lay-up, or getting them to back up, which leaves you a 3-point attempt.

These drills not only work on your teams ability to pass, catch, dribble, and shoot but also focus on team communication and conditioning. This takes Auriemma right into some of his secondary offensive ideas.

He finishes with some questions concerning practice set up, inbounds plays, facing full court pressure defense, and his favorite rebounding drills.

Improve your offense this season with these proven drills from Geno Auriemma.

The drills start 1-on-0 and progress to 5-on-5 working on the fundamentals of defense, balance, keeping your feet on the ground, squaring up, rotating, communicating and more.

Jacobson and his UNI Panthers have made a name for themselves with their quarter court defense. In 2009, UNI was named the Missouri Valley Defensive Team of the Year holding their competition to 63.5 points per game and 41.9 percent field goal shooting.

Jacobson's defensive philosophy is 80 percent Pack-line Defense and 20 percent ball denial, push sideline / rotate to the baseline.

This DVD will help you create a defensive philosophy and improve the effectiveness of your defensive practice time.

Vance Walberg: Mastering the Dribble Drive Attack Offense

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:58:30 -0500

with Vance Walberg,
University of Massachusetts Assistant Coach;
Creator of the Innovative Dribble Drive Attack Offense,
2005 California JC Undefeated State Champions

Vance Walberg's Dribble Drive offense has taken the basketball world by storm. An idea 10 years ago, this system has evolved into an offensive attack adopted by John Calipari, Larry Brown, Lawrence Frank and hundreds of coaches of all levels all over the world. Based on a unique two point guard (attackers) set, this attack is complemented by two wings and a rim-running post player. The offense features two unconventional ideas: there are no screens and the post player runs to the weak side of the floor. Both features create more space for dribble penetration. Walberg breaks down each player's movement on the floor according to ball penetration. As players react to penetration they move into drag, drop and rack zones. The goal is to create spacing and gaps and to get to the rack. Walberg also teaches middle and baseline penetration and the kick-back option that can produce open 3-point shots or open drives to the basket. In addition, Walberg goes through his "Daily 45 Drills," which he runs the first 45 minutes of each practice. These fast moving drills teach the fundamentals needed to run the Dribble Drive Attack Offense - including his famous "Blood Drills." These drills focus on shooting, passing, footwork, cutting, catching and pivoting. Walberg demonstrates every part of the Dribble Drive Attack in various 3-on-2, 2-on-1 full court breakdown drills. Throughout, he highlights the key drills and teaching points he uses to build the offense. Sports Illustrated calls Vance Walberg "the Master" of the Dribble Drive Offense and one of the top innovators in the game of basketball today. Now you can learn this fun and high scoring way to play from the inventor himself!

Teach your wing players to beat their defenders off the dribble and knock down the big shot.

University of Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari shows you an extensive workout you can use with your wing players to develop the skills necessary to successfully run the Dribble Drive Motion Offense. These are the same drills that have produced back-to-back top 5 NBA draft picks and the second highest scoring average in 2009.

Coach Calipari begins with a series of ball handling drills that develop a feel for the basketball. These drills concentrate on hand/eye coordination and a push-pull technique, which will give your wings a better feel for the ball. Crossover, between-the-legs and behind the back techniques will build the confidence needed to throw the ball from one hand to another and beat defenders off the ball.

Calipari emphasizes:

• Lay-ups - Calipari gives you a progression of lay-up drills that concentrate on speed, moves and finishing with contact. Learn the key to protecting the basketball and see how Calipari stresses it in practice. He also demonstrates a stick-back drill that will turn your wings into strong, aggressive rebounders who turn offensive rebounds into points.
• Shooting - 25 high-energy breakdown drills will give your wings a chance to work on a variety of shots (lay-ups, 3-pointers and pull-up jumpers) that occur during the natural flow of the dribble drive. Calipari also includes a 4-minute shooting drill that gets your wings ready to make the big shot at the end of the game.

To finish the practice, Calipari shows two drills to get your wings mentally prepared to take the big shot at the end of the game. The 4-minute shooting drill forces the wings to make shots under pressure from five spots on the floor in a competitive fashion. A series of one-on-one drills works on the wing's decision making - forcing him to work on beating his defender off the dribble or scoring off the catch.

This DVD is packed with drills that will allow you to take advantage of the opportunities the Dribble Drive Motion Offense will present to your wings. It will also show your players how to create their own opportunities.

To better execute the Dribble Drive Motion offense, players must "play lower and stronger." In this basketball DVD University of Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari along with UK Strength and Conditioning coach Todd Forcier, teach you the drills that develop the explosion and lateral quickness needed to drive past your defender.

1998 National Coach of the Year,
career winning percentage of .741 - (ranks fourth among active Division 1 coaches)

Frustrate your opponent's top two scorers! Prevent your opponent from getting into rhythm offensively!

Former National Coach of the Year Rick Majerus unveils for the first time his philosophy on the triangle and two defense. Majerus shows you how this "disruptor defense," when used on a selective basis, can immobilize your opponent.

Majerus teaches and demonstrates the critical components of aggressive close outs and how to defend various cutters, screens and hand-offs. Majerus presents an in-depth discussion on player responsibilities as they relate to the three defensive zones utilized in this baffling defense.

He shows the "fake and fade" technique to prevent shooters from being able to "rhythm up" and get open looks at the basket. By taking away their shot, players are forced to become drivers and dribble into the triangle. To counter dribble penetration and assist with box-out responsibilities, Majerus teaches the "sliding the triangle." He also provides game clips that reinforce the various concepts of this dominating defense.

Cut off your opponent's life blood and force them to prepare for one more defense; the Triangle and Two!

Teach your wing players to beat their defenders off the dribble and knock down the big shot.

University of Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari shows you an extensive workout you can use with your wing players to develop the skills necessary to successfully run the Dribble Drive Motion Offense. These are the same drills that have produced back-to-back top 5 NBA draft picks and the second highest scoring average in 2009.

Coach Calipari begins with a series of ball handling drills that develop a feel for the basketball. These drills concentrate on hand/eye coordination and a push-pull technique, which will give your wings a better feel for the ball. Crossover, between-the-legs and behind the back techniques will build the confidence needed to throw the ball from one hand to another and beat defenders off the ball.

Calipari emphasizes:

• Lay-ups - Calipari gives you a progression of lay-up drills that concentrate on speed, moves and finishing with contact. Learn the key to protecting the basketball and see how Calipari stresses it in practice. He also demonstrates a stick-back drill that will turn your wings into strong, aggressive rebounders who turn offensive rebounds into points.
• Shooting - 25 high-energy breakdown drills will give your wings a chance to work on a variety of shots (lay-ups, 3-pointers and pull-up jumpers) that occur during the natural flow of the dribble drive. Calipari also includes a 4-minute shooting drill that gets your wings ready to make the big shot at the end of the game.

To finish the practice, Calipari shows two drills to get your wings mentally prepared to take the big shot at the end of the game. The 4-minute shooting drill forces the wings to make shots under pressure from five spots on the floor in a competitive fashion. A series of one-on-one drills works on the wing's decision making - forcing him to work on beating his defender off the dribble or scoring off the catch.

This DVD is packed with drills that will allow you to take advantage of the opportunities the Dribble Drive Motion Offense will present to your wings. It will also show your players how to create their own opportunities.

Dave Leitao: Offensive Sets for the 4-Out 1-In Motion Offense

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:58:30 -0500

with Dave Leitao, former University of Virginia Head Coach; 2007 ACC Coach of the Year

Keep it simple on offense and give your players freedom to play using Dave Leitao's 4-Out-1-In Offense. Leitao's offense is great for teams that have a smaller line up and want to attack the basket using positioning, movement and quick passes and cuts.

Take a court side seat as Leitao, who served as an associate head coach under Jim Calhoun at Connecticut and helped lead the Huskies to the 1999 national championship game, builds this effective offense on a pass and cut foundation. This offense provides basket cuts, pick and rolls, loops, and fades, which are executed according ball movement and to how the opponent defends.

Learn three options for attacking the defense with the dribble: loop, crack back and fade, which all build a foundation of ball and player movement.

This fast moving offense will allow your players to translate mismatches into advantages with the ultimate goal of getting more than one defender to guard the ball. Leitao also demonstrates several 2-man game and post up opportunities that will allow teams to get the ball to their most talented scorers.

This simple, yet effective offense can be successful not only versus man-to-man defense, but zone defense as well. It removes the thought process for your players that allows them to react to the defense.

Every basketball player wants to improve his or her vertical jump. Now you can!

Joe Stolzer provides a visual instruction manual to help your players build their explosiveness and blast off. Coach Stolzer reveals and addresses weak links throughout the body that, by themselves, might increase vertical jump without additional training.

• Core - Learn core exercises to increase the power of your jump, hang time and balance.

Stolzer provides detailed instruction on correct jumping and landing mechanics. These techniques will both ensure maximum vertical jump and assistance in reducing injuries upon landing.

To bring it all together, Stolzer includes over 20 Blast Off Drills. These drills incorporate scientific and psychological principles to fully enhance the power in your jump. The Blast Off Drills will lend variety to your workouts and will help prevent muscle plateau so your athletes' can continue to improve. Stolzer includes eight unique aquatic drills and his "speed training in disguise" drills.

This program is specifically designed for athletes under 225 lbs. and who are post-adolescent.
