Categories: Agility  Ballhandling / Dribbling  Offensive Moves  Shooting  
Ages: All Ages  Youth  Middle School  High School+  

Purpose of the Drill:

The purpose of this drill is to work on the player's dribbling moves in tight spaces and then finish at the rim.

Instructions

  • Set up a specific number of cones (I recommend at least 6) about two feet apart.
  • Have the player weave through the cones working on a set move.
  • Player finishes at the rim or with a pullup jumpshot then can come back through the cones out to half court.

Points of Emphasis:

  • Work on the following single moves: hesitation, inside out, crossover, between legs, behind back.
  • Use the same move all the way through or a different move at each cone.
  • Move quickly through the cone in order to push yourself.
  • Stay low and tight with the cones.
  • Vary your finishing moves around the rim.
  • The cones can be set up approaching from the top of the key or on the wings.
  • Have the player use one dribble to get to the rim from the top of the key after the last cone.

Motivation/Teaching Tips:

  • Make a certain amount in a prescribed period of time.
