The antidote to travelling violations. Use this session to stop your travellers in their tracks with two simple stopping techniques!

Players must throw a self pass by putting throwing the ball ahead of themselves with back spin before jumping and catching the ball.

After having caught the ball players should land solidly on both feet before then selecting which way they are going to pivot in order to shield and protect the ball from the imaginary defender.

Players pass the basketball off the wall and catch the ball in a quick stop position. The coach will either say forward or reverse pivot.

On hearing the call the player will pivot round 360 degrees so they are facing the wall again before making the next pass.

Player 1 makes a pass to player 2 before sprinting to receive the pass back from player 2. Player 1 then has a shot.

This is a pass and run to the back of the opposite line drill, with a v-cut movement before the pass.

1. Player 1 starts in the triple threat position whilst 2 makes a v cut.
2. Player 1 then passes the ball to player 2.

5. Player 2 passes the ball to player 3.
