Basketball: Five Contemporary Scoring Skills To Acquire

Necessary skills evolve with the times. Separating to drive and to score on the  perimeter inform next level success. 

"Every day is player development day." Kevin Eastman reminds you that, "your paycheck is your responsibility." Practicing skills earn payoffs in minutes, role, and recognition.

Attack off the catch. Coach Castellaw shows how to get past defenders with momentum. "Explosive athleticism" catches eyes. 


Give-and-go out of pistol action.


Catch-and-shoot 3s off screens. Having your feet set is a luxury.

Summary: separate and finish.
