Basketball: Footwork warm up

Start in the corner of the court by the sideline and baseline, players lined up one behind another along the baseline;

First player leads the line crouched and sidestepping diagonally across one half of the court;

Keep low, arms outstretched as if defending;

At the corner of the half court line and the sideline jog normally along the half court line;

At the opposite side of the court, low crouched sidestepping diagonally to the corner of the court at the baseline and the sideline;

Jog normally along the baseline to the starting position;

Players are lined up on the baseline. The coach will be on the other side of the court.

When the whistle is blown the players will start to jog. When the whistle is blown again the players will perform a quick stop to simulate them catching the ball in triple threat ready to shoot.

This is continued to the other end of the court.

One team runs clockwise round the inside of the circle with the other team running anti-clockwise around the outside of the circle (blue cones).

When the coach shouts 'Jailbreak' the players inside the inner circle try to 'escape' to outside the 10m x 10m square (yellow cones).

The inside team scores a point for each 'jailbreaker' - swap over. If you have an odd number of players give the defenders the extra man.

Players stand in a circle with one ball per group.

The first player with the ball starts off by passing the ball to another player and then follows their own pass.
