Is this drill for you?

For intermediate scorers (Level 3) who finish basic layups and want craft - spins, Euros, and combo floaters from both wings - hoop and a chair/box required.

Trains: finishing · ball-handling · change of direction · touch · footwork

The ladder: In-and-out combo floaters first, then middle drives, pound spins and Euro steps, and the Mikan drill to close.

Variations: Both hands; both wings; nine drills.

In a game: One move is never enough against a set defense - this builds the second and third action that scores when the first drive gets cut off.

Uses a chair/box as an obstacle; both hands get equal work, which exposes a weak off hand quickly.
