Kings of the Hill

Improve shooting within a fun and competitive atmosphere.

Instructions

This can be a fun and competitive activity to allow the kids some time away from the structure of a typical practice.

Split the kids into teams of 3 or 4. It works best with 3 teams stationed at 3 different baskets. Each kid gets 1 minute to score as many points as possible for ‘his team’.

Kids must shoot 3 shots from 7 different spots.

Scoring is as follows:

• Lay-up (right side) = 1 point
• Lay-up (left side) = 1 point
• In the paint (jumper) = 1 point
• Free throw = 2 points
• Wing (right side) = 2 points
• Wing (left side) = 2 points
• Three point area = 3 points

Tally the total per team. The winning team gets to watch the other teams run. Tell the kids to work on their shooting when they have a chance away from structured practice.

Variations

• Shot location. Point value. Team size. Stick a defender another team (someone not shooting).

Tips

• Teach proper shooting techiques. Balance, square-up, release rotation, etc. Gives kids a chance to shoot under pressure too. Watch to make sure that they hustle to get the rebound.
• If time runs out on the shooter use the points that he has accumulated and move on.
