Have a chair set up about 18-20 feet away from the basket. You can set the chair up on either side of the court. The purpose of the drill is to teach players to go at speed, beat their defender with a dribble move then go into a shot.

Each player has a ball each. The teacher / coach nominates a person to be the leader. That person is allowed to dribble and move anywhere on the court and the others have to copy their every move. The leader can use dribbling with either hand, between the legs, behind the back, crab dribble, spin dribble, sit down on the floor and keep the ball alive.

This drill can be moulded to fit the coaches session focus. The chair is simulating a defender. The players dribble up to the chair and use different change of direction moves. Moves that players use can include crossover, behind the back, through the legs or a spin dribble. Look for them to beat the chair as if it were a defender.
