Basketball is a complex game that requires a variety of fundamental skills. During a basketball game, players continuously transition from offense to defense.

As a result, kids who want to have success on the court and see a lot of playing time need to become all-around players by developing their skills on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.

Physical fitness is an important of the game as players get older, so it's important to include some strength and conditioning drills as well.

And since basketball is also a game of quick starts, stops, and changes in direction, players need some good speed and footwork drills.

The following drills are perfect if you're working out on your own, with a partner, or in a team setting.
