Feint: A feint is a movement of the hands, or of the hands and body, intended to deceive an opponent as to whether the intent is to pass, shoot, or dribble; or as to the direction in which a pass is to be made, or a dribble is to be started.

 


Fake or feint - a deceptive move to throw a defender off balance and allow an offensive player to shoot or receive a pass; players use their eyes, head or any other part of the body to trick an opponent.

Fakes and feinting

This should be part of every basketball player's training and can be described as a combination of ball handling and footwork. Every player should use some form of them all to free himself from a defender with his own action.

To fake is to feint a pass or move.
Free Throw
An uncontested shot from the free throw line, taken by a player who has been fouled. It is worth one point only.

Subsequent sets can include other transition moves and feints, i.e. while dribbling right-handed, head and shoulder fake left, but retain ball on right side.
2.Match players up 1:1. Have one player dribble, the other defend.
