Opposite Cross Side

STEP 1

We place at least 2 players with the ball (1 and 2 in the diagram).
The rest of the players are positioned on both sides of the free throw extension (can be inside or outside the court).
Once 1 finishes his first basket, 2 can start the exercise as well.
We count baskets (set a target for a certain time); if they miss, subtract, if there is a bad pass and the ball goes out of bounds, return to 0.
With this exercise, we also aim to work on transition finishes, zero-step, guided dribble, receptions, and quick passes.
Emphasize lead passes, players asking for the ball, and passers passing where requested.
We can introduce all types of passes: one-handed push, bounce passes, etc.

STEP 2

A JCB1 starts by passing the ball to JSB3, who is on his side; he will return it to 1, who will enter the court to receive with a zero-step

STEP 3

The receiver 1 will receive the ball, directing it with a maximum dribble to the opposite side

STEP 4

1 will pass the ball to 5, who will return it to 1, who will cut to the basket to finish.
The previous passer 3 will switch sides after passing to the opposite position.
5, when returning the ball to 1, will need to go for the rebound of 1’s finish

STEP 5

1 finishes at the basket and 5 goes for the rebound (the ball cannot touch the floor)

STEP 6

5 adjusts position to facilitate ball movement and anticipate the defense.

STEP 7

5 grabs the rebound (if basket was made, takes it from the baseline; if missed, pivots) to pass to JSB 7.
7 passes to 1, who will receive the ball the same way he did with 3
