Start out by placing one penny coin on the back of the hand.
The coin is tossed about 30 centimeters into the air and snatched when it is at eye level.
Move onto 2 coins and then onto 3.
Spend a few minutes on each hand each day.
You will need to spend a bit of time learning to do this at first but once learnt, just spend 2 minutes on each hand each day.
Do this drill in front of a mirror and against a wall and away from people and breakable objects.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
The closeout is the most repeated defensive action in modern basketball. With fouls per game climbing in the 2025-26 season, coaches must teach defenders to contest the three without surrendering the drive or putting shooters on the line.
