Haney 3 Point Drill

Excellent drill to improve three point shooting… Provides game-type pressure.

Instructions

Pick five spots (usually both baselines, both elbows, and top of the key) behind the three point line. You must make five (5) in a row from your starting spot (usually one of the baselines) before moving to the next spot. At each spot you must make five (5) in a row before moving on. After completing all five spots around the three point line, reverse the order you shot in and go again for a total of ten spots. End the drill by making a minimal 8/10 at the free throw line.

Variations

Can also be done by picking any five spots on the floor and/or adding a move to the shot (i.e. pull up jumpers, fadeaways, free throw extended jumpers, etc.). The key is that you must hit five in a row before advancing to your next spot. Excellent shooters looking for a good workout can bump this to ten in a row.

Tips

The repetition and self induced pressure make this a great drill for your shooters. Another benefit is the fact that it can be worked on individually….self-motivated players will incorporate these kind of drills into their routine.
