Move Tips
- Go hard towards hedging defender's outside shoulder. If he doesn't think you're a threat to go around him, he can take away the 'split the hedge' move.
- Make dribble low and long.
- Stay small.
Drill Purpose:
This drill is used as a starting point for teaching players how to react when a defensive player hedges a ball screen and leaves space to split the screen.

Finish with Different Types of Shots - Lay Up, Reverese Lay Up, Power Lay Up, Inside Hand Lay Up, Tear Drop, Pull Up Jump Shot, Euro Step, etc.
Before incorporating any of these shots into the drill, I highly advise to teach them individually first.
Live Drills - After you have covered the different options off of the pick and roll, you can progress to live 2 on 2 drills to practice game-like situations.
