Coaching notes

Three warm-up progressions for touch: modified Mikan drill with inside-hand spin, wide hook, and side-to-side cradles. Each progression is 10 makes with each hand.

Key points

Use the inside hand to put spin on the backboard in the Mikan variation.
Wide hooks test and develop soft touch.
Cradling the ball lets you use the full arm to create more backboard spin.
Complete 10 makes with each hand for each progression.
