Players start out in the corner on either side of the court.

Set up 2 cones in front of the players. The 1st cone 15 ft away. The 2nd cone 30 ft away. There will also be a chair 18-20 ft away from the basket.

Players dribble to the 1st cone and perform a change of direction dribble.

Player then dribbles around the 2nd cone and then dribbles at speed towards the chair.

When they reach the chair they should quickly change direction, move and attack the basket where they will finish with a lay-up.

Have a chair set up about 18-20 feet away from the basket.

You can set the chair up on either side of the court.

The purpose of the drill is to teach players to go at speed, beat their defender with a dribble move then go into a shot.

Dribble 2 basketballs on the move. 

When players reach a cone the ball on their outside goes behind their back and the other ball crosses over in front.

Players then continue running to the next cone and repeating.

One player starts in front with another behind, with a ball. The player in front has to hold up some fingers for the dribbling player to call out. Change roles after 1 minute.
