Description: Workout #6 - Crossover Options

You don’t have to be incredibly explosive to have a dynamic crossover. 

If you can shift your weight laterally, you can be tough to guard.

Let the ball lift to your hip and go over the top. Avoid a V Dribble motion.

Over The Top (Ball Handling)

Over The Top - BTL (Ball Handling)

Skip the initial dribble. Start with a push cross and continue to skip that same side dribble.

Over The Top - Push Cross (Ball Handling)

Control the ball with your wrist. Don’t maneuver your stance.

Over The Top - BTB (Ball Handling)

Turn your hand to the side with your thumb pointed up. That will help you pull the ball to your hip.

Over The Top - Pockets (Ball Handling)

Over The Top - Split Thru (Ball Handling)

Ball Handling Circuit - Over The Top

Attack down the hill with one dribble before changing direction with a push cross. 

We are going to get to the same finishes as we have in previous workouts, except we are now getting to them off of that crossover move.

Take one dribble and change directions using a push cross. Your crossover dribble will be the last dribble you take.

Curved Angle - Push Cross to 1st Step Finish

Push cross and skip off of your inside foot. Then land outside-inside into your finish. This is legal as long as you don’t immediately secure the ball after you push cross.

Curved Angle - Push Cross to Outside Inside Finish

Reach to the rim to create space from your defender.

Curved Angle - Push Cross to Stride Stop Extension Finish

Step away from the rim to create space for your jump shot.

Curved Angle - Push Cross to Stride Stop Step Out

Curved Angle Finishing - Pt. 2

We have multiple types of crossovers but in the segment we are focusing on a low crossover. On a low crossover you want to make sure that your fingers are facing the floor as you exchange hands.

Shift your weight laterally before crossing over. Keep your fingers pointed down towards the floor on your crossover.

Drop Cross to Pull

We have 2 terms that I need you to understand:

Dribble Step: The step you take while the ball is contacting the floor. If the ball is in your left hand, your dribble step will happen with your right foot.

Motion Step: The step you take while the ball is in the air.

—

After your crossover we don’t want to immediately put the ball back down so we need to take 2 motion steps before we dribble.

Drop Cross to Motion Steps

Run through your last dribble step and jump off of your outside foot.

Drop Cross to Motion Steps - 1st Step Finish

Drop Cross Series

3’s - Make 5 from 5 Spots

Take your time and do your routine before shooting every free throw.
