HOPPING CROSSES: The Hopscotch Drill

Reach more passing shots with more effective footwork.

Published Jul 25, 2016

This is a great drill for learning how to fluidly cross over to reach a difficult passing shot. After you split step, step forward first before lunging into your crossover step so you can reach a lot farther. Practice doing the right steps and repeat your crossover lunges over and over again until the footwork becomes natural and routine.
