Cones (recommended)

Two cuts in the same repetition. Whip: Run a slant for three steps, plant your foot, and cut back out. Pivot: The opposite. Run an out route and cut back in. Six of each.

Key points

  • The first break has to be real: a defender doesn’t bite on a hint.
  • The reversal happens on a single step, not two.
  • Your hips should move before your shoulders; otherwise, you’ll spin around in circles.
  • In a group, with a ball: your partner throws to you as you come out of the break. Same movement, plus the catch.

Common mistakes

  • Rushing through the first break because you’re already thinking about the second one.
  • Spreading out too far, which gives the defender time to recover.
