Reverses are really important. You have to be able to make them. There are really three things that players do wrong that screw up on reverses: 

• They jump off the wrong foot
• They jump in the wrong spot
• They spin the ball the wrong way

You can avoid these common problems by just practicing running with the ball (without dribbling) in order to make sure that you jump off the correct foot (your baseline foot). Don’t skip over this ... everyone thinks it’s easy.  Then players get their feet messed up because they haven’t mastered the footwork without the dribble.
