Basketball: Dribble and Shoot

Great tool for bringing focus to practices. Began using it last year...

Eric, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Dribble the ball all the time the ball is in possession.

Start in the guard position, off center in the key.

In a stationary position while on the dribble, stutter step towards a direct drive to the basket for a power move.

Alternate the direction of the dribble drive each time you return to the top of the key.

Do 10 shots going in each direction.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Dribble, cut, pass then shoot:

Setup the practice as shown.

Player 1 dribbles to the cone before passing the ball to player 2. Player 2 makes a run to the cone before making a cut to receive the ball from player 1 and then having a shot.

Shooting

Double Switch:

Player 2 runs cross court in front of player 1 and receives the pass.

Player 1 then cuts in court to receive the return pass.

After the receiving the ball they then run into the key and then have a shot.

Shooting

Dean Smith Drill:

Players 1 2 will shoot the ball to each other.
Concentrate on good shooting form and "arc".

Shooting

Double drop step:

From the block do a spin back, drop step to the power box, lift fake from the chin position, jump step to a hook.

Concentrate on not bringing the ball down below the shoulders.

When shooting learn to keep the ball up from the chin position. If you move that ball even a centimeter away from that body the defender will be able to knock it away.

Do twenty each side of the double drop step.
