POINT OF ATTACK FINISHING

Creating Habits of Foot Organization

Our offensive philosophy revolves around making simple plays multiple times within a possession as we fight for vision, time and space.  This video concentrates on the Point of Attack -- how we finish an action.   We are either trying to find or make space with our finishing plan.  The simplicity of our foot organization with a coordinated “pop” allows us to bring order to chaos while playing with speed and freedom.

 

Our goal is to build a bullet proof foundation for why we do what we do.  The Point of Attack video will show how we create habits that hold up under pressure.

 

TEACHING SEQUENCE FOR CREATING HABITS 

TIMING, RHYTHM, BALANCE

  • Finishing School Series is designed to develop skills from our finger tips to elbows while we learn how to hide the ball with our face.

  • We will teach timing, rhythm and balance through our “Freeze Drill”.   

  • 17 different finishes using the same footwork are demonstrated along with 11 post moves. 

  • Each player will develop their own blueprint of go-to moves and counters.          

SPEED AND ANGLES

  • Building on our Finishing School Series, we execute choreographed speed finishes from different areas of the floor along with turning drives into post ups. 

ADVANTAGE/ DECISION TESTING

  • We test our finishing skills with 5 different pressure advantage drills building from 1-1 to 4-4.

  • Practice drills are followed by game footage.

BONUS FOOTAGE

  • 6 Shooting Drills

  • 3 Multi-Purpose Drills
