To improve your players' shooting percentage and give them more success when attacking the basket, as well as working on their overall fitness, this week's session works on shooting on the run.
We're not asking your players to rush their shots, but what we're aiming for is to get your players working hard and used to attacking the basket at game-speed, running and shooting in training just like they would in a high-intensity match!
To ensure your young shooters hit the target and don't give the defender a chance they need to be moving at speed and most importantly make sure that their shots are accurate! To do this we open this session with a speedy one-two pass and shoot drill, getting players to burst onto the ball and then stop and shoot from where they catch the pass!
Once your players are confident shooting unopposed things get tougher as we introduce a defender into the mix. Do you think your players have what it takes to be a speedy shooter?
in more ways than one
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.
