Did you know that the average speed for a basketball shot might only be 5 miles per hour but it's the speed at which your players get it up the court that counts!
This week?s session focuses on improving the speed your players shoot the ball. Your players will work on their shooting technique, and perfect how they shoot the ball at game speed.
When it?s time to beat the buzzer, you need to know that your players have the composure and ability to score that all important winning shot.
What to expect?
This session is filled with various drills that work on your players speed, decision making, shooting technique and reactions. The drills will have your players competing against each other and working as a team to ensure that their shooting and points percentage increase.
By the end of this session expect your players to be sinking jump shots like Michael Jordan in his prime!
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
The closeout is the most repeated defensive action in modern basketball. With fouls per game climbing in the 2025-26 season, coaches must teach defenders to contest the three without surrendering the drive or putting shooters on the line.
