- The idea is for the player with the ball to get past a 100% giving defender in 3 dribbles.
- The scoring player stays put, misses then goes out and the defender may attack against a new person.
- The goal is for the player to give everything during this exercise.
- Here the attacker is forced to be explosive and use his whole body.
- 2-3 players catch the ball.
- The other players line up around the 3 point line.
- 2 balls.
- Players run regular layups.
- Coach stands under the basket and each time a player arrives, raises a specific number of fingers.
- The players must then get that number right.
- This teaches them not to look at the ball.
