Jump Fake and Shoot
Learning Outcomes
Develop the ability to fake a jump shot to draw a reaction from the defender and create a better shooting opportunity or drive.
Description Of Activity
Students approach a goal with a (potentially active) defender. They perform the initial movements of a jump shot (e.g., three-step approach, jump) but hold the ball or bring it down quickly to shoot from a different angle or drive past the off-balanced defender.
Variations
Fake the jump shot and then pass to a teammate.
Vary the height and timing of the fake jump.
Practice different follow-through actions after the fake.
Coaching Tips
Emphasize a convincing shooting motion during the fake.
Focus on observing the defender's reaction to the fake.
Encourage quick decision-making after the fake.
Equipment/Material Required
Handballs, handball goal, goalkeeper (optional), cones (optional for marking defender position)
