Shivek Drive and Kick Drill with Variations

Israeli National Team coach Arik Shivek brings a lot of great development drills to the table. In fact, many great coaches from around the world share their ideas in WABC videos.


This drill conditions and teaches catch, penetrate and dish. The rotation is from runner/penetrator to shooter, back to the opposite line.

Shivek's drill teaches the perimeter player to relocate to the corner and practices finishing with perimeter shooting, pull up jumpshot, floater, and reverse layup. Note the emphasis on the perimeter, mid-range, and interior scoring.

When players practice finishing, they should develop shots they can confidently translate into games. We have a lot of small players, so developing floaters makes sense.
