Unlike the roll the reverse pivot is a spinning manoeuvre which sees players swivel on the foot nearest the opposing player to trick their marker and create space to receive the pass. It's ideal for opening up space on court to receive the pass.
What's in the Session?
We start with a simple movement practice to get players driving to meet the ball and then gradually progress the skills, teaching the technical points of the reverse pivot in isolation before putting it into a game situation. We then finish this session with a conditioned game that rewards players for using this skill in a match scenario.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
