One-hand scoop passes off the dribble.

One-hand pass and catch using a wall (or a partner if one is available).

Indoor form shooting can be made more game-like by sitting or kneeling on the floor, doing one-hand shooting (see https://youtu.be/sx3pirZWJMw), or adding the guide hand (see https://youtu.be/qhcemhwrzGw). Sitting on a chair is another option, see https://youtu.be/fQYrYaY1chk.

With the onset of winter weather, outdoor form shooting is no longer practical. Lie-down form shooting allows you to work on release and follow-through indoors, see https://youtu.be/N2nos0uhtW4 (for a progression, take away the guide hand).

The Junk Yard Dog takes us through some triple threat counters - pump fake, downhill jab, side jab, "Melo" cross-step & reverse pivot (another Melo option is to spin out, i.e. cross-step then front pivot again back to triple threat). See

Another Canadian connection, two-ball dribbling from Raptors assistant coach Sergio Scariolo, see https://youtu.be/v3HaJX67tTw.

A message from our friends at Right Way Basketball: Right Way Basketball Christmas Break 3-Day Clinics are on. We know how important these development opportunities are for players and families (especially) during these times so we've worked extra hard to make this happen.... We've tweaked them slightly to be more accommodating to the times we're in but players will still benefit from our meticulous preparation and passion for teaching the game of basketball. We have spots left in our grades 4-6 clinic. Register fast as we have limited spots available. Details and Registration in the link https://www.rightwaybasketball.com/christmas-break-2020.html

Inside-out cross between behind, a drill I use for warm-up.

Ramping it up a bit, a good double-move warmup series by Gordon Hayward.

Players love to dribble under their legs while sitting on a bench (or chair). Using a tap dribble is a little harder, see https://youtu.be/jyODLHNj868.

One more conditioning drill for you before some basketball skills and drills.
