Is this drill for you?

For intermediate scorers (Level 3) who want an iso mid-range package - single and double cone drives into pull-ups from the wing, slot, and top.

Trains: shooting form · ball-handling · change of direction · footwork

The ladder: Single-cone crossover and wing pull-ups first, then the double-cone snatch-back, then slot pull-ups and form-shooting swishes.

Variations: Five reps each direction on every drill.

In a game: Iso mid-range scoring is the late-clock answer - these cone reads mimic a defender on your hip.

Needs cones and a chair.
