These drills are great for teaching you how to get low when attacking the rim. This is critical for improving your first step speed out of your dribble moves. With the drills, you also improve ball control and finishing. As you will see, by grabbing the cone, it forces you to drop your hips, and get into a position that is ideal to blow by the defender. 1 - By getting in the ânose over the toesâ position with your hips low, this helps you produce the most force against the ground. This makes you faster. 2 - It teaches you to get in a low, stable position that makes it harder for the defender to push you off your path to the basket. Below, there are four drill variations.
Cone Grab Lay Up Set up one cone at the top of the key and another cone on the elbow. Begin underneath the basket. Dribble out to the top of the key and around the cone. Curl around the cone and cut passed the second cone. As you go by the second cone, pick it up and complete a lay-up. Left Hand/Right hand Cone Grab Behind The Back Set up one cone at the top of the key and another cone on the elbow. Begin underneath the basket. Dribble out to the top of the key and around the cone. Curl around the cone and when you get to the second cone, dribble behind your back and pick up the cone and complete an inverse lay-up. Left Hand/Right hand Cone Grab Crossover/Between the legs This is the same as previous drill except that you use a crossover/between the legs dribble.
