The chair is simulating a defender. The players dribble up to the chair and use different change of direction moves.
Moves that players use can include crossover, behind the back, through the legs or a spin dribble. Look for them to beat the chair as if it were a defender.
After the move the players can finish with a series of shots such as lay-up, power move, bank shot, jump shot and reverse lay-up.
