Two rows of players in the middle of the court, one in front of the other. Everyone has a ball except the first player in one of the rows.
STEP 2
Player 2 passes to 1, who has previously changed direction; 1 receives at the free-throw line and drives to the basket or shoots. Then player 2 repeats the same action on the opposite basket, receiving from player 3. The player who drives or shoots grabs their own rebound and moves to the opposite line.
Drill
Opposite diagonals
Objective: The fundamental objective pursued with this exercise is the long pass and finishing with both hands or the shot, if applicable. Another important objective is changes of direction without the ball.
Pedagogical considerations: Players must be told to rotate outside the field, dribbling or not. We can include cones and force direction changes to be made in front of them and in different ways. We can also vary the way of passing and shooting positions.
