Ball Pass/ Protection:

Players must throw a self pass by putting throwing the ball ahead of themselves with back spin before jumping and catching the ball.

After having caught the ball players should land solidly on both feet before then selecting which way they are going to pivot in order to shield and protect the ball from the imaginary defender.

Footwork and Movement

both side shooting drill:

Both Players outside the 3 point line start dribbling with the ball towards the outside court.

Players . 2 and 4 run towarsds each other on meeting they both run of the pretend screen/defender and make them selves available to recieve the ball ( keeping receiving hand up as a target)

Player dribbling looks up and as soon as the player is available passes the ball. Receiving playersd take a shot and sollect the rebound to pass the ball back to the next two player by the 3 point line.
