In this DVD, Kevin Sutton incorporates innovative two- and three-player drills into a well- rounded practice format. Coach Sutton believes that strong, explosive guards are at the heart of a winning basketball team. Your guards must be able to set the offense, handle the ball, dictate the tempo of a game, and hit game winning shots. Sutton stresses working in game-like conditions and using competitive drills for ball handling, shooting, passing, footwork, reading screening angles, communicating, and developing counters to all potential defensive situations. These are the same drills that Sutton has used countless times in the Nike Skill Development Academy and in developing six professional players and over 90 college players. Coach Sutton provides numerous techniques for individual and team development that should be utilized daily during the season and will become your foundation for pre- and post-season skill development workouts, making this video a must for any coach or player's video library.

For the past 25 years, Duke has been home to some of the best point guards in the country and they have all studied and practiced the developmental drills presented in this excellent production. Coach Krzyzewski provides the overview and background for each section and Duke assistant coach Chris Collins teaches the drills and techniques on the court. This workout includes warm-up drills, defense drills, transition shooting drills and offense drills to create a complete point guard workout. The ultimate goals of this program are to get point guards comfortable with the ball, to build passion and understanding for the role of the point guard, and to create a "coach on the floor" mentality. Collins implements 10 drills that are built around ball handling, distributing the ball and controlling the tempo of the game. These innovative tactics and techniques encompass a variety of areas of guard play, including: shooting, transition, and screening. All of the drills are run in a game-like/competitive setting, stress the importance of communication and leadership, and build on the fundamental needs of a point guard. This will help your point guards become "an extension of you" on the court where making the correct decision at the right moment is crucial!
