OFTEN USED WITH...

Cut and shoot:

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 and follows their pass. When they are just over half way towards player 2 they then make a sharp change of direction and cut out, running hard towards the cone where they will receive the return pass.

After receiving the ball player 1 should try and shoot as quickly as possible from outside the key, before then collecting the ball and playing an outlet pass to player 2 who has moved wide to receive the ball.

Shooting

Cut out, cut in and then shoot:

Player 1 passes a long ball to player 2 and follows their pass, moving towards the sideline, before then cutting inside the court towards the cone to receive the return pass from player 2.

Player 1 then drives to the basket and shoots or performs a lay-up. After this they collect their ball and play an outlet pass to player 2 who has run up the court in readiness for the pass.

Shooting

Cross over shooting drill:

Setup the practice as shown.

Split the group into two teams.

First team to score 10 baskets is the winner.

On the command both teams dribble to the middle of the 3 point line, cross-over and then shoot. The player that has a shot has to go and get their ball and pass it back to the next person in the queue.
