Execution
-“ Player stands on the right side of the foul line, and assumes a good defensive stance
-“ Player step slides, using the stretch of the tube, and moves across the lane until he reaches the left end of the foul line
-“ Player then returns to the right side of the lane using the step slide technique
-“ The drill continues for the allotted time
