Organization- Scholars will be stationary behind either a cone or poly spots.
Description- Scholar will begin the drill in a proper stance while dribbling the ball as low and as hard as possible (starting with dominant hand), with head up for awareness after a few reps, scholar should be able to alternate.
Coaching points- Coaches will look to see if the scholar is using the proper techniques and form while head is prop up.
Progression- As scholars improve the alternate switch of hands should be faster.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
