Touch, Shift and Shoot

Fire the ball into a rebounder or training partner, control the return pass to a dead stop for a split second to simulate freezing a defender, shift the ball at a 45-degree angle through a cone gate, and release a strike within one or two steps. Coach prescribes 10 repetitions on the right foot and 10 on the left foot.

Key points

  • Bring the rebound firmly under control with a deliberate pause
  • Shift the ball decisively at a 45-degree angle through the gate
  • Get the shot off quickly within a couple of steps before a defender can block

Common mistakes

Rushing the initial control touch or taking too many extra prep touches before shooting.
