Shooting

More than any other skill, shooting takes practice. Lot's of practice. Fundamentals include form, timing, and mental training.

There are 205 basketball drills in this category, and the newest ones are listed first.

Baskets in a Row

This shooting drill teaches you concentration. If you are going for ten in a row and the player has hit seven, you can tell that they don’t want to miss. The drill also emphasizes the correct shooting form. It is almost impossible to hit many shots in a row if your shooting form changes from shot to shot.

Triangle Lay-up Drill

This is a passing, cutting and lay-up drill tied to an out-let and fast break lay-up drill that stresses the fundamentals of the jump-stop, catch and pivot, entry and lead passes, and the running and fast-break lay-up.

Players move from spot to spot to practice all the skills, and the ball keeps moving the entire time to stress timing, quickness and speed.
