    Coach Bart Sengers of the Netherlands is a coach at Eurosped Twente in Tubbergen and is also involved with the Team Holland Under 18 womens team as an assistant coach. With his club coach Sengers coaches the women and the Under 16 ladies.

  • Walberg Advanced Dribble Drive Review

    Last spring Coach Walberg released three new Dribble Drive DVD ses through Championship Productions, and after having used them (and a lot of other sources) to write my last book, it’s time for a review. The DVD’s released were:

    Advanced Dribble-Drive Offense: Zone & Transition Game, $119.99

    100 Drills and Sets for Implementing the Dribble Drive Offense, $79.99

    Walberg also released a defensive DVD set at the same time:

    Vance Walberg: Half-Court Pressure Defensive System, 79.99

    I don’t personally use Walberg’s defensive sets, so I’ll leave the defensive DVD out of the review.

    See the reviews below. (more…)

  • The 3-on-3 Transition Drill

    Transition is a continuous 3 on 3 drill that’s fun and challenging, with two teams competing against each other, while focusing on the Dribble Drive Break/Sideline Break and defensive transition.

    The drill continues the work started in the Scramble 11 man break drill, using the same tactics, but now requiring the wings to beat their man to force the outnumbered situation.

  • Slow Break Automatic

    The Dribble Drive Motion basically has the sideline break built into it, with the goal being to get the ball up the sideline as quick as possible (for more info check out the book on the right side of the site). For years I’ve run a sideline break that fits perfectly into the Dribble Drive, has lots of reads and will give you four scoring opportunities in about three seconds.

    We have nicknamed it the “Slow Break”, because although it works great as a fast break, it is equally good after a made basket, or when your big has secured a rebound, and the other team have numbers back on defense. We have run it as an automatic after made baskets or when the big has rebounded the ball.
