Dusan Ivkovic, a legend among the Yugoslav Coaches who led this team to a multiple Olympic Gold medals, says that if you want to teach your player one particular thing, you need to make him do it about 10,000 times in order to make it automatic. So, the individual and skill development takes time and takes patience, and of course, takes a good set of drills.


Put two players on the wings and one on the point. Make them swing the ball from one side to another. This will mimic the classic in-game ball movement. When the ball comes to the side opposite from where the drill started, that player will attack its defender (coach, defensive mannequin) he will do a crossstep, faking like he wants to go sideways. The direct step should be followed with a leaning body and a convincing look. 

Cross step: Fake first step

As the defender moves in the desired way, your player can make a crossstep and attack the middle of the paint.

Cross step: attack the paint

For your next drill, put your players in a line beneath the basket, make them run to the center, turn, and attack the basket. 

Start from the baseline

Put a coach slightly beneath the 3-point line, and make your players do:


1. Inside out dribble. Take care that they bring the ball all the way to a fake side of penetration and then quickly pull it back.

Inside out dribble

2. Right to Left crossover. Tell your players to make a flashy first step, lean the whole body to one side, and then do the crossover.

Crossover dribble

3. Between the legs dribble. Make your players get low, spread their legs wide, and take an energetic dribble.
