By randomly placing 12 cones inside the lane, you create tighter spaces through which the ballhandler must navigate through while making their moves. These tight spaces force the player to make their moves. It also requires them to work on their footwork in order to be able to change directions quickly.

What Ever Happened to the Back-Dribble?
About two weeks ago, I was at an AAU event promoting my new recruiting service for high school student athletes called The Highlight Reel and I was able to catch a few of the basketball games. Although the skill level was high and the games were exciting, I could not help but notice that something was glaringly absent from every player’s game…the back-dribble.
Elite Basketball Bootcamp Begins
On Tuesday the summer 2010 Elite Basketball Bootcamp kicked off with a bang. With the enrollment at FOUR TIMES what it was last summer, there was definitely a buzz of excitement in the air (or maybe that was the vuvuzelas that I was hearing all the way from The World Cup in South Africa)
Bowtie Agility Drill
At Elite Basketball Training, I am always looking for new and creative ways to train my basketball players in a way that is functional to basketball. The Bowtie Agility Drill is no acception. This drill combines agility ladders with defensive slides, thereby making it more specific to the game of basketball.
Post Relocation Drill
The post relocation drill is a great drill to use if you are working out a guard or wing and a low post player. This drill will teach the post player how to relocate on different angles of penetration from the guard or wing player while allowing them to learn to make that pass to the post players in their new area. At the same time, it teaches the post player how to score from those areas with proper footwork and solid finishing moves.
