Setup

A chair sits on the three-point line and the player starts at half court with a ball.

How it runs

  1. Attack the basket at full speed with the ball below the waist.
  2. Make one chosen move at the chair and finish at the rim.
  3. Rebound your own shot and speed dribble back to half court down the other side.
  4. Repeat with a different move each trip.

Coaching point

The move happens at the chair, not three steps early; treat the chair as a defender.
