    🟒 Focus: Quick change of direction and body control.

5. Spin Moves to Middle (Full & Half Spin)

  • Half spin = fake spin then fade.
    🟒 Focus: Protecting the ball and squaring in the air.

6. Spin Moves to Baseline (Full & Half Spin)

🧠 Coaching Tips

  • Reps Matter: At home, go for 5 makes per move. In practice, use "first to 2" for tempo.

  • Game Simulation: Rebound your own shot and toss out to simulate a real catch and attack.

  • Balance First: Speed is good, but only after footwork and balance are solid.

  • Progression Ideas: Start at the top of the key, then add reps from both wings and corners.
