How to Improve your Footwork – the Quick Hop

The Quick Hop is beneficial when the shooter is on the move. Pre-shot movement can be sliding laterally along the perimeter, uphill coming off an away screen or downhill off the dribble/curl.

With all footwork it is imperative that you do your work early. When the “Ball in the air = feet in the air.” Players will need to drive their toes into the ground on the catch.

The Quick Hop will assist your:
BALANCE
RHYTHM
POP TIME (time elapsed from the catch to the release)

“The quality of your feet will determine the quality of your shot.”
