Called-Move Dribble Lines

Partners along the sideline, one ball per pair. The coach calls a move; the dribbler goes across the floor with the right hand and makes the move in the middle, comes back with the left hand and makes it again, then passes to the partner. Every move twice, then the next move.

Coaching points

  • Head up: read the coach's calls, not the ball.
  • Sell the move with a change of speed, slow into it, fast out of it.
  • Push off the outside foot coming out of the move.
  • Try the hard moves too; losing the ball in practice is how you learn them.

    Back with the left hand, the same move in the middle. Eyes up the whole way.

Run it, tilt it, change it to fit your practice.
