About this video
The high crotch drill focuses on improving high crotch shots and overall shooting technique. This drill can be used for both warm-up and cool-down.
- Start on one side of the mats with your partner having one leg forward and one leg back. Mirror your partner's stance by placing the opposite leg forward.
- Change levels and shoot to the lead knee, ensuring your front knee penetrates through your partner's front foot. Aim to get your knee deep inside their leg for a deeper high crotch grip.
- After shooting to the high crotch position, let go and have your partner change stances. Repeat the shot to the other side.
- Focus on smooth and fast movements without worrying about setups or finishes. Maintain rhythm throughout the drill.
- If space allows, move all the way down the mat. If not, aim for timed rounds, starting with 30 seconds and working up to a minute.
- After completing your turn, switch roles with your partner and repeat the drill.
