Stand 10 feet away from a wall.
Start the drill off by making a 1 handed pass against the wall and catching it with your other hand.
Once the ball in caught with your other hand, bounce the ball through your legs twice.
After this make a 1 handed pass back to the original hand.
The drill continues for 30 seconds.
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.
