Footwork Drill – Jump Stop, Pivot, Pass

This basketball drill is great to teach your players footwork fundamentals.

Keys to Success: Focus on staying controlled and balanced during jump stops and pivots. The two dribbles must be done at full speed to improve jump stop and pivot skills. Change up the pivots – players can forward pivot on the left (counter-clockwise turn) or right foot (clockwise turn) or they can reverse pivot on the left (clockwise) or right foot (counter-clockwise).

Elapsed Time: Run the drill for 5-10 minutes.
