U7 basketball drills
Fun, simple basketball drills for U7 players (ages 6–6): ball handling, layups, passing and games that keep young players moving and smiling.
Ball Wraps & Figure 8s
Stationary ball-control series: head, waist and knee wraps, then figure 8s through the legs.
Zig-Zag Dribble
Full-court change-of-direction dribbling between staggered cones.
Mikan Drill
Continuous alternating layups under the rim to build touch and footwork with both hands.
Weak-Hand Layup Series
Dribble with the weak hand around a cone at the wing and finish with the weak hand every rep.
Dribble Knockout
Everyone dribbles inside the circle or key and tries to knock others' balls away while keeping their own.
Hot Shot
Shoot from marked spots worth different points in 60 seconds — highest score wins.
Knockout
The classic elimination shooting game from the free-throw line.
Keep-Away (3-on-1 / 4-on-2)
Passers in a small square keep the ball away from the defender(s) in the middle without dribbling.
Partner Passing
Partners 12–15 feet apart cycling chest, bounce and overhead passes.
Form Shooting
One-hand shots close to the rim to groove a repeatable release before moving out.
Free-Throw Routine
Build a repeatable routine: shoot in sets of two, partner rebounds and records.
Dribble Tag
Everyone dribbles inside the half court; taggers try to tag players or knock their ball away.
Dynamic Warm-up Lines
Four lines moving baseline to half court through a dynamic movement series.
Two-Line Layups
The classic pre-practice layup lines: one line shoots, one line rebounds, then switch.
