How it works

Your first lessonAdvanced Ball Handling • Cone zig-zags with both hands: crossovers, behind-back, spin moves • Reaction drills with coach or defender hand signals 2. Finishing Under Pressure • Power layups, reverse, euro-step • 1-on-1 finishing with padded contact

Lesson 11+3-on-2 / 2-on-1 Transition Drill Focus on quick reads, spacing, and recovery • 1-on-1 Full Court Compete with intensity and good footwork • “Earn the Ball” Drill: 4-on-4 half-court — defense must get 3 stops in a row to go on offense

Lesson 4-10Ball Handling (with pressure) • 2-ball dribble moves, zig-zag under pressure • Transition to live defender 1v1 half-court 2. Advanced Shooting Series • Off pin-downs, flare screens, relocation • 1-dribble pull-ups, step-backs, and contested shots 3. Passing Under Pressure • Skip passes out of traps • Live 2v1 decision-making: passer must read and react 4. Finishing Package • Reverse, euro, power finishes • Finishing through contact with pad defenders

Lesson 2-33. Catch & Shoot + Off-Dribble Shooting • Spot-up from 5 angles (inside arc) • 1-dribble pull-up left/right • Shooting off a flare or pin-down (basic intro) 4. Passing & Decision Making (optional if enough players) • Partner skip and outlet passes • “Read-the-defense” passing from live 2-on-1

Youth players

Working with kidsGetting the younger kids comfortable with catching, passing, and dribbling with fun interactive drills.

Working with teenagers1. Respect Their Maturity, But Guide Their Focus Use game-related examples (e.g., “Watch how Jrue Holiday defends ball screens”) to make drills relevant. 2. Increase Challenge Through Context. Instead of cone dribbling, use live 1-on-1 pressure 3. Use Competition to Drive Effort • Teenagers are naturally competitive—gamify drills: • “First to 5 stops” • “3-in-a-row shooting challenge” • “Live 1v1, loser runs”

What you need to bringWork ethic, listening ears, and Water

What I can bringBasketballs, cones, speed ladder, jump rumps
