Leading with the elbows

Ripping the ball through chin to hip or hip to chin to protect the ball.

First Cone:

In and Out Dribble

Note:

We go through this drill three times on each side of the floor using a Big Ball then a Heavy Ball and finally a Regular Ball.

Diagram 2:

Second Cone:

Spin or Reverse Dribble

Note:

Emphasize a tight spin, pulling the ball with the same hand, ball down, head up.

Diagram 3:

Third Cone:

Pullback or Retreat Dribble (to avoid double team),

Emphasize:

Turn your body to protect the ball with shoulder, hips, and arm bar, two quick hop back steps or retreat steps keeping feet spread or wide to a Double Crossover.

Diagram 4:

After Pull Back or Retreat Dribble and Double Crossover, Player dribbles between the cones, makes a move on the last cone and finishes at the basket.

Moves:

In and Out Double

Crossover

Spin

Layup

Finish off one foot

Finish off of two feet

Crow Hop

Euro Step

Floater

Pull Up J

Note:

We require Bigs to pass fake, shot fake, and pivot twice before they score.

We also require Bigs take the ball out of the net, chin the ball with a wide base, and score it again vs the pad to make sure they are on balance when they try to score in traffic!

Note:

Drives vs the Pad make this an even better drill.
