DESCRIPTION

When changing drills take 10 pinpoint shots from the free-throw line using a regular jump shot.

Pin-point shooting is having the ball hit certain parts of the rim.

Start by hitting the front of the rim, then the back, then the right shot and then the left and repeat again. A regular shot should be used.

This drill improves touch and causes the player to concentrate on a smaller target.

When having a shooting slump this is a good drill to do to get back on track.

Shoot a maximum of 20 shots in 10 shot segments.

Position to shoot:

After catching the ball use the least amount of movement to get the ball into the shooting position.

Take 20 shots on each side of the floor.

Shooting

Possession and Passing on the wing:

Players will set up as shown in the animation. With the basketball starting in the corner line.

The ball will be passed from the corner to the line at the top.

Once passed that player will run towards the free-throw line and receive the ball back.

When that pass has been made, the player from the top line will run around the cone and towards the basket where they will receive the ball for a shot.

Players will switch lines.

Shooting

Pass, Push off and shoot!:

Players pass to the player higher up the court on the wing and then run up to the cones where they're blocked by another player.

Players must wait for a second before then pushing off and running up the court for the return pass.

After receiving the ball back they run inside the key and perform a lay-up.

Shooting

Pick up and Shoot - Single movement:

The ball is placed one step away from the player.

As they step forwards to pick up the ball the player should bend their knees.

As they stand up in one movement the player should raise the ball above their head (bending at the elbow), locate the basket and push off the heels of their feet so that they are on their toes as they shoot.
