7 Best Drills To Teach Elite Basketball Footwork

In this video, you are going to learn 7 of the best drills to teach elite footwork to players of all ages. These drills are great for players of all ages, from youth through high school.

All coaches know that effective offensive play starts with proper footwork. However, most coaches are unsure how to best teach it. Let this video show you the way!

These drills come from renowned coaches and trainers, and have been used with countless players over the years.

Each drill is meant to combat some of the common footwork issues that players struggle with:

-Playing on balance
-Limiting travels and pivoting against pressure
-Being able to shoot using multiple types of footwork
-Pivoting effectively on both feet
-Using proper footwork to help sell dribbling moves

These drills will show your players how to use footwork effectively in all aspects of offensive play - shooting, dribbling, post play, as well as catching & passing.
These 7 drills teach you how to train your players to:

-Stop drives on balance and pivot with poise
-Finish off 2 feet with proper footwork
-Use their feet to shift a defender before making a change of direction dribble move
-Handle pressure without panicking by using proper pivots
-Catch the ball not facing the hoop and quickly pivot to shoot on balance
-Attack the rim with various footwork depending on how they are being guarded
-Shoot with 1-2 footwork, allowing them to smoothly step into their shot

Beyond the setup of the drills, you’ll see the master teaching that is necessary to teach elite footwork. You’ll hear numerous coaching tips that make the difference in players retaining what they are being taught.

When asked for an under-taught aspect of the game, many coaches answer, “footwork.” By implementing these drills, that won’t be the case for your team.

Instead, you’ll end up with players who can confidently use great footwork to navigate any situation they encounter!
