Description: Elbow Catches

**Each movement will have two sets. One set should be to your right hand and the other set to your left**

Today we look at actions away from the basket as we work to catch the ball at the elbow.

A lot of people view playing off of the block and the elbow as needing completely different skill sets, when in reality, the footwork is the same.

Warm-Up Circuit

Sometimes it is more important to be under control than it is to be fast.

📝 Teaching Moment: Speed Vs Control

We are always teaching to play fast. Yet, sometimes it’s our ability to play slow that opens up the opportunity.

📝 Teaching Moment: Utilizing a 2nd Dribble

Teaching Points

After your reverse pivot make sure you dribble with your opposite foot and then skip off of that foot.

Land outside-inside as you go through your defender.

Outside-Inside Finish

If your defender slides to cut you off you can use that momentum against them and spin off of contact.

2 Dribble Spin

Often times the closer we get to the basket the more we look to be under control then simply being fast.

Fake the spin - get to the hook shot.

Fake Spin to Hook

Your pick up timing is important. If you pick the ball up early you will travel. If you delay your pick up (like Jared does) you will be able to establish your pivot foot one step later.

This gives you the freedom to utilize a step through.

Spin to Step Thru

If they close the space on your step out, look to step through.
