A great 5-Out play design! UConn | Double Stagger - Miami - Double Stagger Twirl Animate your plays here:

REDUCING TURNOVERS Start practice with a certain amount of 🏀 (say 5-10). Take a 🏀 away for every turnover. When there are no 🏀 left to use, you can do a number of things the remainder of practice, including run 😅 Do this for all drills/SSGs. For example, a bad pass in a layup drill--take a ball. Reduce the number of 🏀 to start as they improve. You can also do this in teams. Each teams starts with 5 🏀 Make it competitive. Team who loses their 5 🏀, loses the competition, and then you can decide next steps. Players/teams who commit less TOs, play more. Every ball has a little more value! Sounds like you are doing a great job already and trying everything you can to get better. I hope this helps if you try it or modify it as needed. Good luck!
