Have a practice partner stand behind a screen about 15 ft in front of the plate. Your practice partner should alternate between overhand and underhand techniques, giving an irregular tempo to the pitches coming across the plate. Your goal is to drive all of these right up middle field. The variability of these pitches will help you recognize off-speed pitches and the shifts in posture and body position that accompany off-speed pitches. Your practice partner should stand on your open side at about 45° behind your batting position. Have your partner lob an underhand toss into the contact zone while you concentrate on crushing the ball straight into the midfield. The angle of approach for this drill is ideal for giving you the impression that you are on the inside, which is the right habit to have when trying to hit a breaking ball. It can be difficult allowing curves to drop and come to you. To practice patience and keep yourself from pushing forward and being out front, have a practice partner set up a screen 10 - 15 ft in front of you. Then have him lob the ball to you over the screen.  Wait for the ball to enter your optimal hitting zone. Stay inside the ball. Attempt to rocket the ball straight up the middle. The more you practice the curveball, the easier it will be for you to notice and manage. You might consider spending one-on-one time with your pitcher to train hitting his curves or even drilling the curveballs from a pitching machine.

One-sentence summary -- Utilize variable speed pitches when practicing batting. Stay inside of breaking balls. Train patience with lobs. Reinforce recognition of curveballs.

Article: Practice not standing still on the court for longer than a few seconds at a time. Constantly make cuts and try to get open for passes from your teammates. When you’re constantly moving around, you get more opportunities to make big breaks down the court and also distract and tire the opposing team. In order to be a good offensive player, you need to pay attention to what’s going on at all times. This will help make you ready to receive passes and take advantage of broken plays. Watch first and foremost where the ball is, and also pay attention to where your teammates and opposing players are. Never turn your back on the ball. When you decide to make a break towards the other side of the court, fully commit to your decision by moving as fast as you can while remaining in control. The faster you get down the court, the more time you’ll have to take a shot without the pressure of defense. Always be ready to act on a missed shot. You and your teammates will miss shots from time to time. By staying near the basket as the shot is made, you can be ready to jump up and at least attempt to get it in before any opponents grab the ball and take it to the other side of the court. Some ways to improve your rebound include:  Start moving as the shooter uncoils instead of waiting until the ball is already in the air. “Box out” other opponents by getting in between them and the basket. Throw the basketball at the backboard or the back of the rim and then immediately go after it and try to make a shot as soon as possible. This will help you learn how to anticipate rebounds and react to them as quickly as possible. Dribbling too much can slow you down and give the defense time to set up. Make sure to incorporate as much passing, cutting, and shooting as you can. When you’re dribbling, try not to stop and stay stationary. Instead, dribble in a direction until you can finish your dribble with an immediate pass or shot.

Stay mobile on the court. Practice having good court awareness. Get the ball down the court quickly. Go for rebounds whenever you can. Create your own rebound opportunities. Minimize your dribbling.
