Touch and Chop Closeout Drill

Players chop their feet, sprint out on the coach's call to touch the baseline/line, then close out under control on a perimeter ball handler with high active hands and inside-shoulder angle.

Key points

  • Chop feet quickly and explode out into the closeout
  • Decelerate with short, choppy steps and squeaky shoes without lunging
  • Position head on the inside shoulder to close the door and force toward outer thirds

Common mistakes

Lunging out of control, jumping in the air, or leaving an open gate to the middle of the court.
