DESCRIPTION

From the block do a spin back, drop step to the power box, lift fake from the chin position, jump step to a hook.

Concentrate on not bringing the ball down below the shoulders.

When shooting learn to keep the ball up from the chin position. If you move that ball even a centimeter away from that body the defender will be able to knock it away.

Do twenty each side of the double drop step.

Dodge Defender and Find Space:

Have a player or the coach on one side of the court with a ball, looking to pass to the attacker.

The attacker should start on the other side of the court and will try to get past the defender and get closer to the ball so he can receive the pass.

Footwork and Movement

Drop step and pivot:

In a drop step, one leg moves first then the turn of the body.

With a drop step you are trying to get one foot past the defenders foot, the body and the foot move at the same time

Shooting

Drawing the Defender:

The attacker draws the defender to tackle him

He beats the defender by passing the ball between his legs before suddenly changing direction and driving off to his left
