Two Foot Finishes (Just watch first 2 Min of Video):

  • (1) 5 min- Start from the elbow, alternating kids between the right and left, with a simple two dribble quick/jump stop into a hand away finish (as shown in the video)
  • (2) 5 Min- Do the same move as above, now introduce a pump fake before the finish [using the same footwork as used in (1)]
  • (3) More Advanced- After coming to a two foot stop, then pump fake and the kids do a step through to finish with the off hand (Video)
WATCH VIDEO

Second 15 minutes
---
Playing off 2 feet Live:
  • 5 minutes of the drill shown in the video below--one dribble power stop and finish, however after they do it a couple time then have one player play defense and try to stop the offense from scoring. Once everyone has gone through once, switch the defender- Have this going on BOTH sides of the basket so kids are getting more reps and the offense switches sides each time they go
  • Remainder of the time we are going live (1 v 1): 
  1. Players start on the same wing, one on offense and one on defense (defense is playing dummy)
  2. Player with the ball makes a move out of the triple threat (jab step or jab crossover) and must come to a two-foot stop in the key, pivot to make a pass back to the defender (who is still on the wing)
  3. When the player catches the ball, the passer is now closing out and we are going live. The player now on offense must make a move to try to score, but must do so finishing off two feet
