5-Spot Drill ®

This drill is designed to simulate and develop basic offensive skills
   handling the basketball while facing the basket. It focuses on using the
*Triple Threat Position, and the whole basketball court, dribbling the
   basketball with the left and right hands, how to change direction with
   the ball, the one count and the two count stop and the shot. This is a
   self-testing drill, both mothers and fathers will be recruited as scorers,
   coaches, and referees.

       *Triple Threat Position: starts on the balls of the feet, with the feet at
       shoulder width apart, knees flexed, head forward with shoulders and
       back slightly leaning forward* (see diagram below).
