Basketball: Fast Feet 1

Very useful format and descriptions of drills. I am using Sportplan...
Tony, Coach

DESCRIPTION

This drill works on fast feet, agility and footwork.

Players start off with their own space on the court.

On the coach's first whistle players sprint on the spot, standing with wide feet and their arms outstretched as if defending.

Players sprint on the spot, with minimal leg raise - emphasis on fast feet.

Players cease to exercise on coach's second whistle.

COACHING POINTS

Coach should get the players to exercise for however long they think is appropriate.

Look for good defensive positioning, feet shoulder width apart, bend knees and dont cross feet when sliding.
