Basketball: Reverse baseline drop step and power move

Set out five cones at random around the basket.

Working in pairs, players must shoot from one cone and then move to the next cone, continuing to shoot for 1 minute (players must not shoot from same cone twice in a row).

The player's partner must pounce on any rebounds and try to score any shot that the other player does not get in.

After 1 minute players swap roles.

Pull up about 4 meters out and shoot a drop shot.

Imagine having to shoot over bigger people so put a little bit more height on the ball to stimulate a game situation.

Make sure this drill is done in both directions changing hands each time.

Do this drill from anywhere on the court beyond the perimeter three point line.

Use different changes in direction dribbles like behind the back, through the legs and spin dribbles. Take shots from 4-8 feet.

Practice doing virtual variations of different moves, for example do a spin back at the top of the three point line in a guard position, forward pivot to a triple thread, head and shoulder fake to the middle, dibble drive to the baseline, do a spin fake and drive on the baseline to shoot a reverse layup.

You will need to simulate different type game situations.

Player 1 passes to player 2 and makes a break forwards before usinga body fake to get free. After the fake the player then accelerates to the elbow of the free throw line where they receive the ball, shoots and if necessary follow up with a rebound shot.

Player 1 then passes to player 2 who throws the ball to the next player in line before joining the back of the queue. Player 1 replaces player 2 and the drill continues.
