In this partner shooting drill our partner DJ Sackmann is joined by our good friend Reid Ouse of Catalyst Training in the Dish Lab to work on partner dribble hand-off actions.

This is a great way to utilize the Dr. Dish CT to work on game-like situations in a partner setting. Both players receive a rep during each rotation.

As with every drill, it’s important to focus on the details and fundamentals. Make sure that your cuts are as game-like as possible and that you’re training at game speed.

While the 2nd shot is always a “bonus” it also mimics the game concept of “Drive, Pitch, SPACE”. After any pass/hand-off it’s important to space out and leave the lane open to attack. Also, this can help the passer create an open look from the perimeter as well.

Drill settings:

Tempo: 4-5
Pass distance: 3-4
Pass locations: Top of Key and Wing
Goal: 25 Makes is a good start for each drill.
# of players: 2-6

This is a great drill to execute in training and practice settings!
