INTERMEDIATE 

• • Have players lined up in two lines facing each other (approximately 15 metres apart), outside of the shooter positions, in one or both ends of the floor.  The first player in each line begins with a short run forward.  

• Variation #1 (10 min):  "Dodge Your Opponent."  Players in both lines either have no balls (Variation #1A), or have balls (Variation #1B), and the first player in each line cradles toward each other practicing one of the following:  "stutter steps,” "hitch step," "face dodges," "roll dodges (left & right)," "toe drags," or "swims."  

• The next player in line doesn't go next until the players ahead of them have made their "move" and run to the far-side line.  Have players build up their speed with each rep through the drill.  For beginner/intermediate players, this drill variation works best with one shuttle of righties and another shuttle of lefties; advanced players can use mixed lines, which requires superior spatial awareness. 

• For a more remedial version of this drill, a coach can stand in place of one of the player lines, with players dodging the coach and continuing to the other side of the floor where they line up again (Variation #1C).
