Hi Rinki, here are some tips that you can use to advance your shooting & jump shot. Since you already have 4 years of basketball experience, you can use advanced drills on Sportplan to improve shooting.

Simple routine:

1. Form Shooting

50 shots close to the basket

Focus on balance, elbow under ball, and follow-through.

2. Mid-Range Pull-Ups

Shoot from 5 spots around the key

10 makes each spot after one dribble.

3. 3-Point Shooting

Shoot from 5 spots around the arc

5–10 makes per spot (catch & shoot).

4. Game-Speed Shooting

Use Sportplan drills like mirror shooting or defender pressure drills.

Shoot under pressure

DESCRIPTION
Player 1 passes the ball inside the key to player 2 and follows their pass. Before they enter they key player 1 cuts out to receive the return pass from player 2. At this point player 1 should dribble towards the basket with the intention of scoring. However, as soon as player 2 passes the ball they are allowed to close down and put pressure on player 1. Once Player 1 has taken their shot player 2 should collect the ball and drive out of the area before joining the back of the attacking queue. Player 1 joins the back of the defending queue.
