The player now V cuts cuts with the dribble and goes straight in to the basket for a layup.
The player repeats steps 2-4 going the other way on the court.
The player repeats steps 2-4, except instead of going in for a layup she stops just outside the three-point area for a bank shot.
The player repeats steps 2-4, except instead of V cutting she dribbles down to the corner for a jump shot.
Remember to do this drill from both sides of the court, allowing the player to perfect her skills with both hands.
