Have a chair set up about 18-20 feet away from the basket.
You can set the chair up on either side of the court.
The purpose of the drill is to teach players to go at speed, beat their defender with a dribble move then go into a shot.
Maintain a low dribble and keep your head up.
Make sure your players go as fast as they can - we want everyone playing at Game Speed!
Finish with a quick release jump shot, we don't want players to dip the ball down, or waste any time with their shot.
Progression:
You can vary the move at the chair and you can also change the type of shot depending on what you want to work on.
Talent wins games, but chemistry wins championships. Building a positive team culture, establishing shared values, and developing trust creates teams that exceed the sum of their parts.
Getting to the rim is only half the battle. Converting against shot blockers and help defenders requires a toolkit of creative finishes. The best scorers have multiple ways to score at the basket.
Traditional positions are becoming obsolete. Modern basketball rewards versatile players who can handle, pass, shoot, and defend across multiple positions. Developing these skills creates valuable, adaptable players.
