About This Play/Drill

Motion Breakdowns:

To begin teaching the four basic cuts of motion offense (curl, back, out, straight) use a folding chair to simulate the screener setting a downscreen.

Players on the wing have a ball, they pass to coach/Asst./Mgr./player who is centered.

Stress setting up the cut by "walking the arc" then sprinting the cut. Miss the chair late! Call your cut! 

Teach the two inside cuts (curl, back) first. Work the drill on both sides or the floor. You can have four folding chairs and four lines on a single court with players rotating from line to line. Drill should be LOUD with players calling cuts!

If you run motion, this is your most basic shooting drill. Do it daily. These are your game shots!
