Set Up

Start the players on the wing with the ball. Have them bounce away from coach, since we are also teaching spacing principles and learning how to create your own space. After they bounce, they will wind up and hop like a step down, and the coach will either shade high or low. The player with ball will take the space the coach gives them

Coaching Points and Principles

  • When players bounce, make sure their hands get up and loaded
  • Wind Up, make sure they are taking the hop step like they are going to shoot
  • TAKE THE SPACE – recognition the space coach is giving them to attach

Progressions

  • Force players to use their weak hands
  • Do on different parts of the field for various shot types
