Points of Emphasis:

- Have them approach game speed.
- Emphasize as few dribbles as possible and no wasted dribbles.
- Get back to the free throw line when they dribble back to the elbow.
- Use as few dribbles as possible and get good extension.
- Can go off two feet, instead of the inside foot.
Motivation/Teaching Tips:
- Make it competitive by seeing who can get the most shots or baskets in 30 seconds.
