MASS DRILL FOR TEACHING
STOPPING AND CHANGE OF
Pee DIRECTION

With the coach giving the commands
of “forward, backward, right, and left”
the players spring from both feet into
these positions. The commands are
given rapidly to serve as a coordination
drill also.

The drill may also be used very
effectively with the commands of “For-

@  carcy ward, right, and left.” In this manner
a the players run forward and receive the
a)

 

command of stop, right or stop, left.
The player observes all of the funda-
mentals of the stop and uses the pivot
to the direction commanded. They ad-
vance to the end of the floor, about face and continue in the opposite direéc-
tion with the drill.

This drill is of great value where a large squad is being cared for by a
small staff. It is also useful for knowledge teaching and drill for gym-
nasium classes.

 

 

 

FIVE-MAN PASS AND PIVOT

In this drill, five offensive men are placed in the offensive sector. They
may pass, pivot and cut, but are not allowed to shoot. This is a good
warm-up drill prior to games or scrimmages.

Hard cutting, pivots at full speed, and well led passes are to be given
the emphasis.

MEET PASS—FOOTWORK
DRILL

In this drill A breaks out to meet
a pass from the coach. The coach
keeps B the defensive player in the
proper guarding position by having
the offensive man break in fast and
feinting a pass to him, letting him
turn back and go under for a float
: pass or feint back and then break
: out, gaining a position with the defen-
\. sive man at his rear. When he re-
\ ceives the ball, he must practice his
fs © cascn various fundamentals of footwork
Co such as the forward pivot, the reverse
turn, and the reverse and cross over
to elude the guard. If possible, he
attempts to score a basket either
from the field or from underneath.
