5star acceleration
 | 1 Pete McLean Quickness is a priority in basketball, not top speed. Drive your arms, drive your knees to 90 degrees. Stop in two steps (1-2). a) Stand tall fall - standing up, get high on your toes, tip your body forward, land in a fall (sprint) position, one foot moves forward to land, the ankle, knee, hip and shoulder are in a straight line. Then take one stride after falling (stand tall fall stride). b) From the baseline, sprint to the foul line, slow down to halfcourt. Lee Taft - first-step acceleration - sprint baseline to the top of circle, gradually slow down and walk to the other end, 8 reps total. c) Sprint out, 1-2 stop in a low ready position. |
 | 2 d) Out, back and go Sprint out to the second cone, put the brakes on, back pedal, stab step, sprint to the far cone. Progression - coach points left or right, break 45 degrees to finish. Option - while dribbling. |
 | 3 d) Defensive slides (sprint, slide, sprint) - Lateral - Diagonal Go both ways. Don't round cuts, drive off the outside foot. |
