Basketball

The drills designed for basketball players can help develop ball-handling and off-ball skills, as well as providing training protocols to enhance footwork, reactive times, and court vision.
Serpentine High Speed Evasion: Measure reaction time and dribbling skills as the player reacts to cut instructions around an obstacle.
Box Drill: A standard testing protocol used at the NBA Combine to measure forward, backward, and defensive slide movements.
Reactive Rebound Passing Drill: The player in must complete as many passes as possible in 30 seconds. The player must react to the light which turns red, and pass to that board. The light signals are completely random. This drill teaches the player the important skill of looking up and learning to control the ball without looking at it.
Offensive Repositioning Drill – Shooting Variation: This data can show strengths and weaknesses in players' abilities to pick up a visual cue and then react and accelerate. It can also show an athlete's ability to perform skills under physical pressure.
Basic 4 Gate Grid: This competition drill places two players in a four gate grid, with each player reacting to their specific visual signal. The player breaking the most gates in a specified period of time wins, and returns to the line. Last player standing is the winner.
Shotgun Drill Grid: This 3 gate reactive drill develops reactive times from a ready position to move left, right, or straight.
Lane Slide Drill: Measures the quickness with which a player slides defensively across the lane.
