Pivoting and Dribbling

Great tool for bringing focus to practices. Began using it last year...
Eric, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Pivoting in Basketball:

A) Standing 2-5 meters apart in pairs, receive a pass using the W Hands formation - Thumbs behind the ball, and partner then pivots 360 degrees and passes to partner and so on.

B) Dribble out 5-10 meters ahead, scoot stop, pivot and pass back to partner.

Passes can be Chest or Bounce

A) W Hands formation when receiving pass.

Pivoting - move forward rather than backwards, this gives good visual ahead of play.

B) Scoot Stop - after dribbling land and perform a two footed stop. As you stop bend your knees (acting as shock absorbers)

Dribbling - Perfect vision look up (heads -up) Don''t look down and dribble low as this gives poor vision. aim to bounce and dribble the ball waist height.

Dribble to the side of the body and slightly in front.

Don''t dribble directly in front of the body as the ball will land on your feet.

Fingers spread out on the ball don''t dribble with palms of the hand.
