Creating Space

Purpose

Get open and create room to score. Space creation is the core of individual offense.

How to Perform

Use jabs, step-backs, and crossovers to create separation from the defender. Read the defender's positioning and choose the move that creates the most space.

Key Coaching Points

  • Read the defender before moving
  • Sell the move with your eyes and body
  • Create space, then shoot or drive
  • Stay balanced through the move

Common Mistakes

  • No read before the move
  • Weak, non-committal moves
  • No balance after creating space

Recommended Reps

15 reps per move. 3 sets.

How to Progress

Add a defender, then a live 1-on-1, then game situations.
