Basketball drill: under the buttocks

Requirements:Players must be able to dribble away from the ball diagonally with one hand at the side

Preparatory exercise:Dribble the ball from the left hand to the right hand with a flat bounce while standing behind the back

Goal: practice changing speed and direction with the ball behind the body, while keeping the dribbler's field of vision on the part of the field in front of him

Organisation:

• when reaching a longitudinal line, make a mini jump stop and behind the back dribble

• when the first dribbler is at the extended free throw line, the next one starts

Teaching points:

• look over the ball and survey the court in front of you
• after the mini jump stop, feet side by side at shoulder width
• Hand over the ball
• Pass the ball with a flat bounce behind your back to the other hand
