About WBCA'S Offensive Basketball Drills...

While the highest-scoring basketball players are usually those with the most talent, the highest-scoring teams are those that run their offense efficiently. Now you can boost your team's point totals-and victory totals-by using WBCA's Offensive Basketball Drills to improve your offensive execution.

The top collegiate women's basketball coaches in the nation have put together their most effective offensive practice drills into this ultimate point-producing manual. Developed by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association, this drill collection was compiled by legendary coaches such as Tennessee's Pat Summitt, Old Dominion's Wendy Larry, Kansas' Marian Washington, Nebraska's Paul Sanderford, and Clemson's Jim Davis.

In chapter 1, "Movement Drills," you'll learn how to develop players who can cut, slash, pivot, explode, and stop on a dime. Everyone handles the ball in today's game, and chapter 2, "Dribbling Drills," provides the framework for developing outstanding ballhandling skills from all five players on the floor. In chapter 3, "Passing Drills," you'll learn how to create skillful passers who understand when and where to deliver the pass so that it leads to a scoring opportunity.

Chapter 4, "Screening Drills," includes detailed breakdowns and coaching tips for building screening drills into your practices. Once your players develop an uncanny knack for getting open, the drills in chapter 5, "Shooting Drills," ensure they've got the tools to finish the job. They will, however, miss on occasion. When they do, chapter 6, "Rebounding Drills," ensures they'll control the boards.

Some teams attack quickly, others alternate their pace to catch their defenders off guard. Whatever your transition plan, use the information in chapter 7, "Transition Drills," to make sure your players are effective in putting it to action. In chapter 8, "Situation Drills," you'll learn how to get that bucket when you most need it.

Accompanied by detailed instructions and illustrations, each drill describes the purpose, procedure, key coaching points, and possible variations to increase difficulty or competitiveness. The drills are grouped according to a key skill or facet of the offensive attack, making it easy to fine-tune your offense in practice so that it fires on all cylinders during games.


What they are saying...

"To improve as a coach, you must continue to study the game. WBCA's Offensive Basketball Drills are a great way to improve."
     - Van Chancellor, Head Coach and General Manager, Houston Comets

About the editor...


Founded in 1981, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) is the largest such organization in the United States. Its mission is to promote women's basketball by unifying coaches at all levels to develop a reputable identity for the sport of women's basketball and to foster and promote the development of the game in all of its aspects as an amateur sport for women and girls.

The WBCA is involved in several events and clinics throughout the year, including: the High School All-America Game (televised on ESPN2), the three-day educational Coaches' Academy, WBCA Premier Basketball Camps, the WBCA All-Star Challenge, the Coaches vs. Cancer Challenge, Coaching Clinics across the nation, and Sears Collegiate Champions (SCC) program. Through these events the WBCA not only tries to highlight exceptional talent among women and girl players but also provide opportunities for coaches at all levels to better themselves.

In addition to the activities that the WBCA puts on and sponsors, they have an extensive awards program through which the best, brightest, and most talented athletes, coaches, and contributors to women's basketball are honored. There is also the annual WBCA National Convention held in conjunction with the NCAA Women's Final Four and their three publications (Coaching Women's Basketball, At the Buzzer, and Fastbreak Alert) which provide coverage on all aspects of women's basketball from high school to professional.
