This drill can be moulded to fit the coaches session focus.
The chair is simulating a defender. The players dribble up to the chair and use different change of direction moves.
Moves that players use can include crossover, behind the back, through the legs or a spin dribble. Look for them to beat the chair as if it were a defender.
After the move the players can finish with a series of shots such as lay-up, power move, bank shot, jump shot and reverse lay-up.
Talent wins games, but chemistry wins championships. Building a positive team culture, establishing shared values, and developing trust creates teams that exceed the sum of their parts.
Getting to the rim is only half the battle. Converting against shot blockers and help defenders requires a toolkit of creative finishes. The best scorers have multiple ways to score at the basket.
Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
