FIGURE 8 SHOOTING

1 shooter,1 rebounder, 2 passers, 2 defenders. Shooter starts under goal, flashes in front of defender inside of block and receives pass from wing and shoots over outstretched arms of defense. After attempting shot, shooter goes to the oppostite side repeating the same sequence in a figure 8 fashion until 10 shots are made.

Instructions

Shots should include turnarounds on each shoulder, drop steps, and up and under shots with and without dribble.

Variations

  • A time limit can be used instead of a certain number of made shots, ex. each player shoot for 1 min.

Tips

  • Encourage post players to keep ball high, pivot aggressively and finish shots off of the backboard.
