Court Movement - Agility Circuit (B) - Level 2

Maintain dynamic movement both to and from the ball to stay ready and avoid leaving the court exposed.

Key Points

  • Drill Setup:
    Three cones (blue center, yellow, and red) set up for agility training.
  • Objective:
    Start at the center cone, react to a visual or verbal cue, and return to the center after touching the designated cone.
  • Execution:
    Maintain a low ready position, use powerful steps, and focus on quick, dynamic movements.
  • Conclusion:
    Emphasize speed, precision, and returning to the center quickly.
  • Drill Objective:
    Focus on acceleration and deceleration, simulating movement from a mid-court shot into the kitchen line.
  • Execution:
    • Begin with big, powerful steps transitioning into small, controlled steps to decelerate efficiently.
  • Key Techniques:
    Stay low with a wide stance.
    Keep the chest up and sit back during deceleration.
    Disperse the load evenly with small steps.
  • Demonstration:
    Emphasize finishing with a stable, wide stance for better shot preparation.
  • Conclusion:
    Practice controlled deceleration to improve positioning and shot accuracy.
  • Drill Obiective:
    Focus on lateral movement, low posture, and quick recovery to the middle of the court.
  • Setup:
    • Start in a wide stance, leaning forward in a ready position, alternating sides with extra steps compared to Level 1.
  • Execution:
    Step out wide, get low, simulate hitting a shot, and push back dynamically to the middle.
    Emphasize posture, rhythm, and quick recovery after each movement.
  • Partner Variation:
    A partner can point to direct movement, adding a reactive element to the drill.
  • Conclusion:
    Maintain dynamic movement both to and from the ball to stay ready and avoid leaving the court exposed.
