| By: Ryan Goodson
Originally Published in: Basketball Essentials Provided by: Human Kinetics • Use one basketball and one player. • The player starts on the baseline with the ball. EXECUTION 1. The player takes two dribbles to the right, changes direction, and takes two dribbles to the left and changes direction. The player repeats this pattern until they reach the opposite baseline. The player can use any of the four change-of-direction moves (figure 1.18). 2. The player then continues the drill back to the baseline. 3. The player receives 1 point each time they change directions. 4. The player performs the drill for one minute. 5. Record the player's score.
COACHING POINT Players should keep their eyes up and focused on the middle of the floor and not on the particular direction that they are going. Scorecard Junior varsity: 10 to 16 changes of direction Varsity: 17 to 23 changes of direction All-conference: 24 to 30 changes of direction All-American: 31 or more changes of direction |
