Follow the Leader

Ages: All Ages, Youth, Middle School, High School+
Purpose of the Drill:
To practice changing directions without the help of a patterned movement.
Instructions
- Player 1 will start in front of player 2.
- Player 1 will start off sprinting or sliding in any direction and should change directions throughout while player 2 should follow player 1′s movements and change directions when he does.
- This is the same as the previous step except in this variation, both players are running through the drill with a basketball.
Points of Emphasis:
- Sprinting and sliding with your head up in order to view your partner’s change of direction.
- Planting hard in order to change direction.
- Making a quick move in order to stay with your partner.
Motivation/Teaching Tips:
- Try to beat your partner by changing directions effectively.
- Create a competition to see who can be the best follow the leader.
