Is this drill for you?

For elite players (Level 5) who already finish with both hands and want a 40-minute circuit of pro hops, euros, runners, spins and up-and-unders in both directions - hoop required, no partner.

Trains: finishing · footwork · body control · touch · conditioning · explosiveness

Variations: Eight finish types; both directions; both hands.

In a game: Every one of these finishes answers a different rim protector - the pro hop through contact, the euro around the help, the runner over the top - this is the full menu at game speed.

40 minutes at game speed - heavy conditioning load; too advanced for beginners.
