Eggbeater - drive and shoot:

Set up: 2 balls, 2 lines of players behind hoop on baseline.

Player drives around and out to recieve a pass from the opposite line and puts a shot up.

Ball gets passed to line on opposite side driven from.

Progression: Drive wider and shoot or lay up.

Shooting

Dummy:

The attacker executes a dummy to go left, drawing the defender, before suddenly changing direction and driving off to his right

Footwork and Movement

Faking the Defender:

The attacker draws the defender to steal the ball.

As the defender commits to the steal, the attacker steps away from the defender and drives forward

Footwork and Movement

Drop Step- Reverse Pivot:

There will be 1 passer and 1 Post up/Shooter.

The player posting up will receive the basketball and drop step baseline.

Once they have got close to the basket they will then perform a reverse pivot(the player will pivot on their inside foot). When the player has done the reverse pivot they will shoot a jump hook.
