• 205 drills in Shooting

Knockout

This drill is very popular with my 1st through 4th graders. It teaches quick shooting, rebounding your own shot, shooting under pressure. My third grader had to work hard to teach me the drill. Once learned, the kids love it.

Instructions

The team lines up at the foul line. The first two players shoot the balls. If the player who is behind makes his shot before the front player, then the front player is knocked out of the game and has to sit out.

If the front player makes his shot and the second player has not, he is still in the game. He passes the ball to the next player in line who is now the back player and is trying to knockout the second shooter who is now the front player.

The first shot comes from the foul line. Followups can layups. If you survive, you go to the back of the line. It takes about 5 minutes to get down to one player who is declared the winner.

Variations

• All shots have to be outside the paint.
