Retreat Drop Step and Cut-Off Drill

When the offensive player attacks, execute a stingy retreat drop step with the outside foot pointing toward the sideline, pushing the offensive player into a position of weakness.

Key points

  • Drop the outside foot stingily without conceding excessive floor space
  • Point the lead foot toward the sideline/baseline to guide the driver away from the middle
  • Absorb and redirect offensive momentum while remaining disciplined in your stance

Common mistakes

Giving up too much ground on the retreat step, allowing the attacker to turn the corner.
