| 1 a) Four corners
Start in the middle of the lane facing the foul line,
- sprint to corner 1 (the right elbow), backpedal to the start,
- shuffle to corner 2, shuffle left to the start,
- backpedal to corner 3, sprint to the start,
- shuffle left to corner 4 (the other elbow), shuffle to the start. Dave Malowski - coach shows 1, 2, 3 or 4 fingers, the player in the middle sprints to touch that cone with a hand then recovers back to the middle, keep going, progression – while dribbling. |
