DRIVE Youth Training Center: 1 on 1 Moves Facing the Basket

Here is a portion of a recent lesson plan used with our DRIVE 4th Graders. In this lesson the kids were learning 1 on 1 moves facing the basket.
This progression can be very useful for the youth player, parent & coach as it encompasses many different fundamental skills including: jumpstops,
pivoting, sweep moves (counter moves) & different finishes at the basket. Please note that this is only a small portion of the lesson & there are many
different variations and finishes you can teach through this progression before the kids play competitive 1 on 1. Hope you Enjoy!!
