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.

I like this one….simulates kicking out the ball for a jumper.
Moves players to different spots.
Variations look coo….another var could be instead of lining up in the line you pass to…maybe to the line before…to simulate pick away from the ball, giving space to the receiver.
