Basketball drill wave motion handoff backdoor cut specific 3x3
STEP 1

STEP 1
Player 1 starts with an aggressive dribble toward the basket, following a curved path through the free-throw line area.
- Aggressive dribble aiming for a layup if the defender does not withstand the contact.
- Dribble with strong base and progressively lower dribble until contact with the defender around the free-throw line.

STEP 2

STEP 2
- After the bump and creating separation, player 1 dribbles back toward the starting point.
- Player 1's return triggers player 2's movement.

STEP 3

STEP 3
- When the players cross on the handoff, player 2 dribbles toward player 3.
- The first dribble triggers player 3's backdoor cut to the basket.

STEP 4

STEP 4:
- After player 2's first dribble, he bounce-passes to player 3 on the move.
The pass must be:
- Sharp, bouncing in front of player 3's defender
- Finished with the hand under the ball to create backspin and prevent the pass from escaping
- Targeted about 1 meter ahead of player 3 in stride

STEP 5

STEP 5:
Player 3 finishes with a layup, progressing through:
- Basic layup first
- Reverse layup progression
- Power layup progression

STEP 6

STEP 6:
Continuation of the drill.
- Player 3 gets his rebound and lines up behind cone 1.
- Player 1 lines up behind cone 2.
- Player 2 lines up behind cone 3.
The drill continues this way.
Possible progression: player 1 drops to 0 degrees to receive a pass from player 3 instead of finishing with a layup.

Wave Motion Handoff Backdoor Cut Specific 3x3

Starting setup with cones:
players are arranged in 3 lines. Two lines on one side, one with the ball, and a third on the opposite side.

Line 1:
Ball handler drives aggressively toward the free-throw line, simulating a drive. Near the line, changes direction and dribbles back.

Line 2:
This triggers the player to receive a handoff near the two-point line and attack with a dribble toward line 3.

Line 3:
This triggers a backdoor cut. Receives a bounce pass with backspin and finishes without dribbling.
