It's really important for players to be able to get open to receive a pass or find space in which they can shoot. One of the most effective ways of getting open is by using the V-Cut. The v-cut is a simple move but when used effectively can successfully wrong foot even the most alert of defenders and give players more time and space in which to receive the ball.
Basically this move is a V shaped run, with the intention of losing a marker and to Cut through the opposition's defence. That's only half the story though, once your players have made the space they should be prepared to think fast and exploit the space they've just created - that's precisely what this session aims to do!
Four players standing still make every ball handler's job harder. Teach V-cuts, L-cuts and back cuts so your team gets open and punishes defenders who overplay.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
