Jump Stop & Pivot (Front and Back)

Footwork
– The manner in which the feet are used or maneuvered. Informal Skillful dealing or
maneuvering; tactics.
Basic Stance - also known as the “universal athletic position”, it is called universal athletic
position because it is being used in almost all sports as ready stance. Feet should be open
parallel almost shoulder width, knees shall be bend over the toes, with the back straight,
chin should be over the knees and arms extended sideward slighlty flexed
1.2 Triple Threat Stance - an offensive stance by a player with the ball.
Jump Stop & Pivot (Front and Back)
Pivot (Front and Back) – a movement by a player from basic stance using his/her foot
forward or backward.
Jump Stop – a movement by a player from any direction and then jump to basic stance.
Jump Stop Drill
Drill Purpose - This is a very important drill that all coaches should use. It will improve your
players balance, reduce travels, improve pivoting skills to create space, and improve
confidence.
Instructions
1. Line your players up on the baseline. If you have more than 10 players or a small
court, you'll need to divide them into two groups because they won't have enough space.
2. Have each player spread out with about 5 feet between them, so they have enough
room for pivoting.
3. When you blow the whistle, all players should start running at 3/4 speed.
4. At various intervals, blow the whistle and yell out their pivot instructions. Your choices
are: front pivot left foot, front pivot right foot, back pivot left foot, back pivot right foot.
When the whistle blows, the sequence for the player consists of: jump stop (both feet
should hit the floor at the same time), pause for a second, do a full 180 degree pivot, pause
for a second, do a full pivot bask to starting position, and stay in triple threat position until
whistle blows again.
5. Watch every player to make sure they did the jump stop and pivot properly. If anyone
traveled or if they're goofing off, make them start over again, back at the baseline.
6. If everyone did it correctly, blow the whistle again. All players should start running.
7. At various intervals, blow the whistle and yell out their pivot instructions. Your choices
are: front pivot left foot, front pivot right foot, back pivot left foot, back pivot right foot.
8. When all players reach the end of the court, start over again. You can blow the whistle
anywhere between 1 and 5 times during their trip down the court.
Points of Emphasis
1. Don't travel!
2. Stay low when pivoting. Keep your knees bent and butt down, in a good triple threat
stance.
3. Don't get out of your triple threat stance until you hear the whistle. You always want to
stay low, so you can take off quicker.
- In basketball, dribbling is bouncing the ball on the floor continuously with one hand at a
time. It is the only legal way that a player may maintain possession of the ball while walking
or running. It also provides an opportunity for a crafty player on the opposing team to "steal"
the ball in mid-bounce.
Dribbling is a very important fundamental of both offensive and defensive basketball.

Offensively it is used to advance the ball in the back court, to make a drive-in to the basket,
and to free oneself from close or congested defensive areas.
Dribbling
1.1. In-Out Dribbling

In-Out Dribbling - Start off the same as the yoyo dribbling drill but this time you want to
dribble the basketball in front of your body from side to side crossing your body with one
dribble. Once you have gone full-court and back, switch hands.
Cross Over Dribble - is a basketball maneuver in which a player dribbling the ball switches
the ball rapidly from one hand to the other, to make a change in direction.
Between the legs Dribble - Start with feet shoulder width apart, bouncing the ball outside
the right foot. Lead forwards with left foot. As the foot plants and the weight transfers
forwards, bounce the ball under the leg and collect it with the left hand.
Behind the back Dribble - is the same as the usual crossover except the ball is dribbled
behind the player. Which the player cups the ball in his hand and brings it around his back
to the other side of his body in one quick, smooth motion.
Spin Dribble - the spin dribble is a way to move the ball from one hand to the other. The
spin dribble is a complex dribbling move so we will approach it slowly beginning with smaller
spins and work our way up to a full spin.
Passing
- In basketball it is a way for players to move the ball on the court between teammates. It is
a two-step process that requires a minimum of two players on the same team to be
effective. The passer must be accurate and must put the exact amount of velocity on the
pass in order to reach their teammate in a timely fashion and in the right location.
- is the number 1 option for moving the ball around the court on offense. Passing is quicker
than dribbling and so it is a deadly offensive tool for reaching that open man so they can
have the shot. Good passes are the hallmark of good teams because most offensive plays
are set up by good passes.
1.1 Chest Pass – A pass in basketball made with two hands directly from the chest or
upper torso.
Bounce Pass – The bounce pass is a fundamental and very effective passing technique.
This pass consists of one player passing the ball to a teammate by bouncing the ball off the
floor with great energy.
Over the head Pass - An over the head pass is another fundamental passing technique. It
is used by snapping the ball over the head, like a soccer throw-in. This pass is especially
effective in helping to initiate a fast break.
One-hand Push Pass - A push pass, sometimes known as the lead pass, is utilized
while passing off the dribble or when a defender is guarding closely.
Shooting
- is probably the most practiced skill for new and experienced players. Yet so many people
still practice it wrong. In practice all drills should be done at game speed and done as you
would under pressure. Instead of jumping to give power they use their arms for the power
and the legs give the rest. Practicing the wrong way to shoot is something that players do all
the time yet they do not understand why they miss all their jump shots during the game.
Set Shot - a shot made while standing still.

Jump Shot – is an attempt to score a basket by jumping, usually straight up, and in mid-
jump, propelling the ball in an arc into the basket. It is accomplished by the player bringing
his or her elbow up until it is aligned with the hoop, then sent towards the hoop in a high arc.
It is considered the easiest shot to make from a distance.
Lay-up Shot – is a two-point shot attempt made by leaping from below, laying the ball up
near the basket, and using one hand to bounce it off the backboard and into the basket. The
motion and one-handed reach distinguish it from a jump shot. The layup is considered the
most basic shot in basketball.
Rebound, colloquially referred to as a board, is a statistic awarded to a player who retrieves
the ball after a missed field goal or free throw . Rebounds are also given to a player who tips in
a missed shot on his team's offensive end. Rebounds in basketball are a routine part in the game,
as all possessions change after a shot is successfully made, or the rebound allows the defensive
team to take possession. A rebound can be grabbed by either an offensive player or a defensive
player.
Offense - An offense is your method to score baskets and get open shots against your
opponent. Most coaches consider their offense to be a continuous motion or a play that can
be run over and over again. It's common to have more than one offensive set, usually a
primary offense and a secondary offense.
Defense - A basketball defense refers to the defensive strategies, alignments, and

positioning that a team uses to prevent the opposing offense from scoring baskets.
In basketball, good defense requires quickness, footwork, and a deep understanding of
the fundamentals.
