100 Drills and Sets for Implementing the Dribble Drive Offense
Vance Walberg's Dribble Drive offense has taken the basketball world by storm! In this on-court presentation, Walberg shares his individual breakdown drills by position and demonstrates the team drills he uses in teaching the offense.
INDIVIDUAL DRILLS
Walberg provides a break down by position of the individual skills needed to effectively run the dribble drive. He delivers over 40 drills to compliment his Daily 45 drills (as seen in Mastering the Dribble Drive Attack Offense) and includes not only offensive footwork movement but also getting shots within the offensive framework.
You'll get some of his favorite drills like "20 Minutes of 3's." Players are paired up and must get through several preliminary shooting exercises before shooting 3's. Players chart their shots to see how many they make in the time allowed. This is a great conditioning drill and it will help you determine who will be your "Streak Shooters."
Walberg also shares individual drills for the 4-man including quick ups, lobs, jump-jump, re-locations, clean-ups, combinations, and the "Drop 4 series".
TEAM DRILLS
Walberg utilizes over 60 breakdown drills/sets to teach and demonstrate the formations and action of the Dribble Drive offense. These breakdowns are three-man groups including 1-2-4 breakdown, 1-4-5 breakdown, and 2-3-4 breakdown. In these breakdown groups, Walberg takes you through the dribble drive actions that can occur and the movements involved.
He shares examples of the rack series, drop series, drag series, fist series, pistol series, quick series, replace series, kickback series, 415 series, re-loop series, thumbs up series, and skip series. With different player combinations, Walberg shows you the series actions and how the formation of plays comes together for the Dribble Drive.
Walberg brings it all together in his "Two Stops or One Turnover Drill" which is a half court, 5-on-5 drill used to reinforce the breakdown drill work. This DVD set provides a deep look into how the Dribble Drive offense works and ways to help teach it to your team. A must for anyone using or thinking of installing the Dribble Drive.

Vance Walberg: Mastering the Dribble Drive Attack Offense
Creator of the Innovative Dribble Drive Attack Offense,
2005 California JC Undefeated State Champions
Vance Walberg's Dribble Drive offense has taken the basketball world by storm. An idea 10 years ago, this system has evolved into an offensive attack adopted by John Calipari, Larry Brown, Lawrence Frank and hundreds of coaches of all levels all over the world. Based on a unique two point guard (attackers) set, this attack is complemented by two wings and a rim-running post player. The offense features two unconventional ideas: there are no screens and the post player runs to the weak side of the floor. Both features create more space for dribble penetration. Walberg breaks down each player's movement on the floor according to ball penetration. As players react to penetration they move into drag, drop and rack zones. The goal is to create spacing and gaps and to get to the rack. Walberg also teaches middle and baseline penetration and the kick-back option that can produce open 3-point shots or open drives to the basket. In addition, Walberg goes through his "Daily 45 Drills," which he runs the first 45 minutes of each practice. These fast moving drills teach the fundamentals needed to run the Dribble Drive Attack Offense - including his famous "Blood Drills." These drills focus on shooting, passing, footwork, cutting, catching and pivoting. Walberg demonstrates every part of the Dribble Drive Attack in various 3-on-2, 2-on-1 full court breakdown drills. Throughout, he highlights the key drills and teaching points he uses to build the offense. Sports Illustrated calls Vance Walberg "the Master" of the Dribble Drive Offense and one of the top innovators in the game of basketball today. Now you can learn this fun and high scoring way to play from the inventor himself!

University of Massachusetts Assistant Coach;
Creator of the Innovative Dribble Drive Attack Offense,
2005 California JC Undefeated State Champions
Vance Walberg has established himself as one of the game's most innovative coaches. In 30 years of coaching he has developed a creative style of basketball on both ends of the court. In this DVD, Walberg teaches you his full court defensive system, which he feels is a better innovation than his Dribble Drive Attack Offense. Ironically, this defense is responsible for the development of his popular Dribble Drive Attack Offense. Full court 2-2-1 pressure is the core of Walberg's defensive system of play. Walberg breaks down the court into quarters making it simple to understand and execute the defense. Walberg thoroughly explains and demonstrates each player's assignment and the secrets to making this defense successful. He also shows three zone options in the full court that are generated from this defense. This combination of pressure defense and the Dribble Drive Attack Offense is a proven recipe for winning basketball. After installing his entire system at Clovis West, his teams went 159-18. At Fresno City College his teams went 133-11. Take it from a winner, this system works.
