Hi Jamal,


When looking to improve your performance of a key fundamental skill then repetition is vital to seeing improvements.


I'd suggest staying behind for a couple of minutes after a session and practice shooting around the circle to fine tune the skill. Practice really does make perfect. Here's a good drill for you to start with!

    • Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 before following their pass to put pressure on the receiver. Player 2 then dribbles around the cones on either the left or right before having a shot.

    Player will act as the rebounder.
