The Kick Up

Diagrams

Diagram 1 - Purpose

Purpose

• The goal is to get all the way to the basket with intent to score and/or be fouled
• Start with a sprint step - not a slide - to create more space faster, forcing the defense to respond Kick-ups should force the defender to go through the passer to closeout
• 1 attacks the basket
• 2 moves from the corner to the free-throw line extended for an open shot

(Diagram 1)

• 1 should make a “positive pass” by waiting to pass the ball until 2 moves behind 1
