Legendary Stanford coach Tara Vanderveer brings you an extensive player development workout for post/perimeter players. Coach Vanderveer covers many drills for post and perimeter players that will get your team playing better individually and together and will inspire you to create breakdown drills for your offense.

Drills and Skills for Perimeter Players
The Perimeter Series works on everything from perfecting the catch-and-shoot, to executing the pick-and-roll and seeing all of the options available to score. Coach Vanderveer demonstrates and explains each skill and drill they use when developing their perimeter players. She takes you through numerous offensive moves that will help your players become successful with the basketball.

She demonstrates the jab series for attacking the rim off the dribble and counters you can use when the defense stops your dribble. With each perimeter skill, Coach Vanderveer incorporates their offensive movement so that their players can develop their shot at game spots.

Coach uses two great combination drills, Beaver Creek and Morgan Drill, to work on every offensive skill needed to be successful in the Stanford offense. Whether it's hand-offs, post entry, backdoor cuts, skip passes, or dribble drives these drills are great for any offensive player or team looking to get game shots within their offensive.
