Improve Your Cross-Step Technique

The cross-step is crucial for covering the court quickly and efficiently. Mastering this technique can enhance your game significantly, allowing for smoother transitions and better court coverage.

Step 1: Start with your knees slightly bent, weight on the balls of your feet, ready to move in either direction.

Step 2: When anticipating a wide shot, push off your trailing foot and step across your body with your lead foot.

Step 3: Ensure your core is engaged to maintain balance and stability. Keep your upper body facing forward as your feet adjust positions.

Step 4: Practice cross-stepping back and forth, maintaining a low posture and quick footwork. This helps maintain balance while moving laterally.

By incorporating these steps into your practice routine, you'll find your movement becomes more fluid and efficient, giving you a competitive edge on the court.

Happy practicing!
