    How we help players learn to create shots

    Most people think of a dynamic ball handler "creating shots off the dribble" as the only way to create shots.  We work on shot creation in 3 categories  before the catch, after the catch, and off the dribble And our main focus is on screening this week, but again counter to where most people's focus is on ball screening, we focus on screens away from the ball with 4 action/ reaction pairs for cutter and screener based on our Rule of Opposites: Straight cut/ screener rollCurl cut, screener spiralBack cut, screener popFlare cut, screener dive  We help 7th-grade basketball players perform at a high school level BEFORE their freshman tryouts!
