Drill Purpose

Teaches footwork, change of direction, shooting on the move.


Drill Instructions and Diagrams

Please note: Two balls are needed for this drill

  1. Put a chair on each elbow with the seat facing mid court. Put a ball on each chair.
  2. Player starts on the left block.
  1. Player cuts through the middle of the chairs, around the right chair. Player scoops the ball and takes a jump shot.
  1. Player then cuts directly to the right block.
  2. Upon reaching the block, player executes step-through footwork, cuts through the chairs and around the left chair for jump shot.
  1. If a re-bounder is available (2nd player, coach, etc.), he hustles after rebound and replaces it on the chair(s) and the shooter can go continuously.
  2. Drill can be run for attempt or makes. If there is a re-bounder, it can also be run for time or for a progressive number of rotations (2 shots the first time, 4 shots the next time, 6 shots next, etc.).
  

Teaching Points

  • Make hard cuts
  • Step footwork on the block to get the player back to the ball, is as important as any other footwork
  • Lean into your turn to make the change of direction easier and to maintain balance
  • Step into shot by stepping around the chair with your inside foot
  • Get low on the turn around of the chair for the jump shot and for the change of direction for the drive
  • Be sure to finish your shot before taking off for the 2nd ball
  • Be particular with regard to footwork. Good footwork not only means better shooting but will limit turnovers
