Description: The HOP

The HOP Definition:
At a young age, players are often taught to 1, 2 step into their shots. This is easier to teach, gives them more time to arrange their hands/locate the rim, and feels more comfortable and achievable at a young age. 

At Global Squad, we teach the HOP because we believe players should have the ability and understanding to do both the 1, 2 step and the HOP. As they get older, the game of basketball speeds up, so players need to find ways to get their shots off faster. 

Without going into great detail, check out the list of benefits for the HOP below and enjoy the drills within this workout to help you or your players learn how to execute a better HOP. 

Benefits:
- Quicker release
- Choice of pivot foot
- Forced to control balance
- Remain under control
- Difficult for defenders to read

Drill 1

Drill Explanation:
In this drill we're focusing on being able to go from an uncomfortable position with our feet, utilizing the HOP, to get to a comfortable and balanced shooting base.

Execute these moves at 5 spots:
- Corners
- Wings
- Top of Key (straight on)

Rep Explanation: 
Make 10 shots from each spot. 
✅10 makes at all 5 spots = 50 makes total.

*If no rebounder*
Grab your own rebound, return to the drill starting point, start your feet in an uncomfortable position, execute a self pass by slamming the ball on the ground, and as it returns to your chin, HOP to get your feet in a comfortable place.
