Footwork and Movement

One on One:

The attacker draws the defender to tackle him but beats him by passing the ball behind his back before suddenly changing direction and driving off to his left

Footwork and Movement

Pass & Move:

One player has a ball and another player starts in the middle of a cross-shaped set of cones. On the command, Red Player 1 moves to touch one of the cones before returning back to the middle to receive a pass from White 1.

The player then has to touch a different cone before returning back to the middle to receive a pass. Once the middle player has touched all four cones then the player switch over.

Passing

Pass and to the circle - shot relay:

Player 1 will pass to player 2.

After the pass player 1 will cut to the bottom of the circle, stop and cut straight up above the free-throw line.

Once player 1 is above the free-throw line, player 2 will pass the ball where player 1 will catch and shoot.

Player 1 will become the next passer in the corner.
