Elite Hoops and Nike Basketball Camps presents the Switch Cone Slides & 2 Ball Power Dribble Drills
Elite Hoops performs this as one of their "Living by Numbers" drills. Players have 0:30 to record as many rotations as possible. Each cone moved counts as 1. Cameron collected 15 cones in 0:30 and set a new Elite Hoops Division record.
Place 4 cones on the outside of either lane line starting at the FT line and working down the lane. Cones should be next to each other with little or no space between them. Start position for the player is down in an athletic stance with their hand right above the first cone, but not touching it. When the clock starts, player can pick up one cone, slide over to the opposite lane line, and set the cone down outside the lane. The players’ feet may not cross during the drill, they must slide correctly. Players must also set the cone down and not throw the cone. Either of these infractions will result in a loss of that cone rep being counted. Once they place all 4 cones outside one lane line, they should return the cones to the opposite side one at a time. When a player sets down the 4th cone, they must pick up a NEW cone coming back for their 5th rep. Same rule applies to setting down the 8th and picking up the 9th.
Elite Hoops performs this as one of their "Living by Numbers" drills. Players have 0:30 to record as many simultaneous dribbles as possible. Each simultaneous dribble counts as 1. Zoe collected 146 power dribbles in 0:30 and set a new Girls Elite Hoops Division record.
