Use in practice
Footwork labels, right then left, approach the basket from the right.

Set up

Start close to the right side of the basket. First rehearse the footwork without dribbling.

Run the drill

  1. With the ball gathered, step right then left as you approach the basket.
  2. Push off your left foot and raise your right knee as you reach up with your right hand.
  3. Finish softly toward the backboard, land in balance and move clear of the basket.

Make it easier

Practice the steps without a ball, then add the ball close to the hoop.

Add a challenge

Add a controlled dribble before gathering into the same steps.
