V-Cut & Catch Drill

Purpose

Players practice cutting and passing to the cutter.

Drill Setup

• Two players line up on opposite sides of the court at the free throw line extended.
• One player has a ball.

How it Works

1. Player without the ball runs down and executes a V cut.

   

2. Player with ball passes to the cutter, who catches and squares up to the basket.

   

3. At this point, the person who passed, executes a V cut and receives a pass.
4. Repeat

Coaching Tips

• Players should catch and square to the basket in triple threat position.
• Look for good timing of the pass – should be delivered right when the player comes off the cut.
• Players should hop off their inside foot to square to the basket.
