Instructions
- 1Maintain tight ball control throughout weave
- 2Plant feet outside cone, dribble on inside (close to obstacle)
- 3Change hand as needed to protect ball and maintain control
- 4Accelerate between cones - quick hand transitions
- 5Keep eyes up to maintain awareness of court
- 6Focus on explosive first step out of each cone
Coaching Points
- Plant the outside foot hard before each change of direction — a soft plant bleeds speed
- Keep the dribble low and tight through each cone, not extended out in front
- Eyes up between cones — look at the next cone, not the ball
- Drive with the arms on each acceleration; arm swing generates the burst speed
- Change hands at the cone, not before or after — clean transitions build muscle memory
