Four Corner X Drill

Have four lines in the four-corners of a half court. With right hand, front player in all four lines dribbles to a jump stop at free throw line (simultaneously). They pivot and spin to the right, making a pass to the next line, and then follow their pass and go to the back of that line. After a few turns, do the same drill with a left-hand dribble and pivot to the left, etc.

Variations

• Mix up the passes, going from chest pass to a bounce pass, etc.

Tips

• Make sure the dribblers keep their heads up. Keep the four lines moving together. This makes a nice pre-game warm-up drill—it gives the players a good feel for the ball and the opportunity to get their footwork together—when everybody’s in synch.
