Description: Workout #9 - Between the Legs Moves Part 2

Today we touch on a few more options out of our “Drop Thru” footwork.

Rock back and forth to open up your hips.

Basketball players are notorious for having tight hips. Make sure you take care of them.

Hip Openers (Ball Handling)

Split your feet with your ball side foot forward. Make sure that you are not creeping forward, but rather staying in the same space.

2 Dribble Drops (Ball Handling)

Make sure that your feet are not only split front to back but also side to side. Our feet need to be outside of our hips so that we can properly shift our weight laterally.

Continuous Drops (Ball Handling)

Don’t cheat the drill. We want you to go fast, but make sure the ball lifts up to your hip.

2 Dribble Cross (Ball Handling)

1 Dribble Cross (Ball Handling)

Let the ball lift and suspend it at your hip for as long as possible. When you feel the ball starting to come out, drive it into the floor.

2 Dribble Float (Ball Handling)

Float the ball after your two dribbles and then after your crossover.

2 Dribble Float to Cross (Ball Handling)

Make sure both punch dribbles are at your hip before going low on the jolt crossover.

2 Dribble Jolt Crossovers (Ball Handling)

Keep the ball low and get a quick 2nd dribble on the crossover.

Continuous Jolt Crossovers (Ball Handling)

A control dribble keeps the ball I. Your hand slightly longer than a punch dribble.

Make sure the ball contacts the floor in the same spot every time.

Ball Handling Circuit

In this finishing series we are attacking across the midline. Start on the left elbow and then finish on the right side of the rim. Your second set should be going the opposite direction.

Start on the left elbow and attack to the right side. The focus here is on finishing with the ball extended away from your frame. This makes it easier to avoid blocked shots.

45° Finishes - Extension Finish

You’re going to take one dribble and two steps. Jump early off of your ball side foot.

45° Finishes - 1st Step Finish

This footwork and finish is perfect for when you are unable to get to the rim due to a help-side defender stepping up.

Make sure you focus on going straight up and straight down to avoid a charge.

45° Finishes - Outside Inside Floater

Stop outside inside before pivoting back towards the middle of the floor. You are likely to have a defender close to your hip, so we are focusing on reaching away to create separation.

45° Finishes - Stride Stop to Extension Finish

Focus on stepping away from the rim to create separation. Focus more on squaring your elbow then squaring your shoulders.

45° Finishes - Stride Stop to Step Out

45° Finishing Series

Getting up game-speed shots from the mid-range is one of my favorite ways to warm up.

Start in the corner and attack uphill toward the elbow. Make 3 in a row on both sides.

Start at the elbow and take 2 dribbles towards the corner/short corner.

Make 3 in a row on each side.

Downs

Start at the elbow and establish your foot closest to the sideline as your pivot foot.

Spin out towards the sideline and cover space. Make 3 in a row & each elbow.

Spin Outs

Mid-Range Shooting Warm Up

2 dribbles and 4 steps after the BTL dribble.

Drop Thru to 2 Dribble Pull

If you choose to stop but have committed to stepping with your ball side foot, this drag action is a great option.

Drop Thru to Under Drag

Crossover in front with your ball side foot forward.

Drop Thru to Cross Drag

Stop on your inside foot and pull back to get space to shoot.

Drop Thru to Inverted Drag

Drop Thru Series Part 2

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