This is a high pressure shooting drill designed to teach players to hold their ground and shoot under pressure. Rules: Players must shoot from inside the key. No dribbling (once they have the ball they must shoot). Players must make a basket before they can get out of the key in this all against all drill.Once a player scores and gets out a new player must come in (start with 6 players inside the key).

All players have a ball each. The catchers have to try and touch one of the players without bibs. If they succeed in doing so then that person has to stand still and put their ball on their head.

Player 1 with the ball. Player 2 sets the screen at either side of the defender. When the screen is set player 1 fakes to the opposite side then crosses back to rub shoulders with the screener, before dribbling past and either taking a shot or a lay up.

Player 1 makes a pass to player 2 before sprinting to receive the pass back from player 2. Player 1 then has a shot.

Blue 1 moves to the middle to receive a pass from red 1, as they catch the ball they must land with either a jump stop or a stride stop. Blue 1 then pivots on the correct foot to face the line they came from. They then pass to the next player in line. Blue 1 then pivots again to face where the pass came from and runs to join the back of that line. The drill is then repeated. Ensure the players catch the ball in the air. Younger and inexperienced players tend to catch the ball then perform a jump/stride stop. The player in the middle must perform a pivot with the ball. If they land with a stride stop they must not move the foot that landed first.

Player 2 runs to the furthest cone before running back to the next cone. They then run forward to receive a pass from player 1 before turning and shooting.

Setup the practice as shown. Player 1 dribbles to the cone before passing the ball to player 2. Player 2 makes a run to the cone before making a cut to receive the ball from player 1 and then having a shot.

Both Players outside the 3 point line start dribbling with the ball towards the outside court. Players . 2 and 4 run towarsds each other on meeting they both run of the pretend screen/defender and make them selves available to recieve the ball ( keeping receiving hand up as a target) Player dribbling looks up and as soon as the player is available passes the ball. Receiving playersd take a shot and sollect the rebound to pass the ball back to the next two player by the 3 point line.

The dribbler will use the ball screen, this situation the dribblers defender has gone under the screen. The dribbler is going to stop on top of the screen and shoot a jump shot.

The player underneath the basket begins with a ball and tosses if off the backboard, simulating a rebound. They then pass to the point guard on the wing and sprints forward, while the player on the wing dribbles with quick feet through the cones. Once the player dribbling has reach the end of the cones, they will then pass to the player on the run for a lay up.

Set up two lines, one for the for the defending players (red) and the other for the attacking players (blue) who have one ball. When the coach blows their whistle both players run around their respective cones (shown in diagram). After the blue player has made their way around the cone another player in the offensive players' line passes the ball to them. After they've run round the cones players play out the 1 vs 1.

Working in a circuit, players take lay-ups from alternate elbows. After making the shot players should collect their own rebounds and then dribble to the other end to make their next shot. Work in this way for 30 second intervals.

White 2 gets in space to recieve a pass from White 1 Upon receiving ball White 1 has three bounces and five seconds to try to score. Alternate possession between players. The winner is the first to 5. Blue 2 will pass to white 3 when they get open.

Player 1 dribbles to the cone before passing to player 2, and then proceeds to continue their run to the next cone. They then make a cut to receive the pass and then turn and shoot.

Players pass the ball to the coach or a feeder just inside the key and run immediately after passing towards the basket. When they are in a prime shooting position they should stop, turn and prepare to recieve a return pass. As soon as the feeder sees the player is ready they should pass to the shooter who then attempts to score.
