Shooting Form - Practice and Competition Session

Shooting under pressure is different to shooting in practice. Find out if your players are able to maintain their form in this practice and competition shooting session!

OFTEN USED WITH...

Ball bounce on line:

All player start on line

On the signal the players must move backwards and forwards over the line whilst maintaing the ball dribbling on the line.

Dribbling

Beat the chair:

Players start out in the corner on either side of the court.

Set up 2 cones in front of the players. The 1st cone 15 ft away. The 2nd cone 30 ft away. There will also be a chair 18-20 ft away from the basket.

Players dribble to the 1st cone and perform a change of direction dribble.

Player then dribbles around the 2nd cone and then dribbles at speed towards the chair.

When they reach the chair they should quickly change direction, move and attack the basket where they will finish with a lay-up.

Shooting

Diamond Tag:

Setup the practice as shown.

White player 1 and Blue Player 1 begin to dribble in a diamond shape as shown. One must try and catch up with the other to tag them. Keep score.

Dribbling

Copy Cat:

Each player has a ball each.

The teacher / coach nominates a person to be the leader. That person is allowed to dribble and move anywhere on the court and the others have to copy their every move.

The leader can use dribbling with either hand, between the legs, behind the back, crab dribble, spin dribble, sit down on the floor and keep the ball alive.
