Shooting

Daily Dozen

This is a drill which teaches young players to use both hands when finishing shots around the basket. Every team that I have used this drill with has improved their overall game shooting percentages over the course of a season. Getting easy shots around the basket doesn’t mean a player can finish with a high percentage shot.

This is a two line lay-up drill. We usually the shooting players line start with a pass to the rebound player who returns the pass to the shooter for a lay-up. We simply call this ‘two-pass’ daily dozen. Each player will go the shooting line, shooting each of 6 different lay-ups twice for a total of twelve shots, hence the name daily dozen. This drill when done properly only takes 5 minutes and is a good concentration drill as well. If you are short on practice time, we manage to practice one day the daily dozen from the right side, and the next day from the left side.

The six lay-ups (from the right side) are a:

• normal right-hand, underhanded lay-up
• right-hand, overhand lay-up with the hand behind the ball, not under it like on a normal lay-up. This requires putting the ball off the glass with a soft touch.
• right-hand, under-the basket reverse lay-up. Your players should plant their left foot as close under the shot release point as possible. Most young player miss this shot because they long jump before attempting to rotate their body, which usually causes a missed shot. (We call this an Inside Pivot)
• left-hand, reverse lay-up, after crossing over from the right hand dribble under the basket. (We call this an Outside Pivot)
• two-foot jump stop just before the basket, with a right foot crossover step to a left handed short hook shot.
• power dribble to a power right hand lay-up, (off hand up fending off a potential block attempt by the defender), or in the case of older players a slam dunk off the power dribble.

Decathlon

Decathlon is another way to make shooting competitive and exciting for the individual and the team. It involves taking shots from ten different spots on the floor with five repetitions at each spot. The experienced and novice shooter will find challenges in this drill. It can also be modified by coaches to suit their team’s offensive focus.

FT 20 series

let each player shot FT for 5 or 10 minutes where he only matters on making largest matched serie and shortest missed serie.

Then convert the results to know what is the best and the worst percentage for this player.

• largest matched serie = LMAS (example : 8)
• largest missed serie = LMIS (example : 4)
• shortest missed serie = SMIS (exemple : 1)
• shortest match

An excellent shooting drill to work catching the ball ready to shoot and also allow players to get warmed up. We do this drill every day for 10 minutes at the beginning of practice and before every game. This drill allows constant shooting for 10 minutes.

Shooting continuum

The 3 players use 2 balls. A1 takes his shot, grabs his own rebound and passes the ball to A3, who is waiting on a spot outside the zone. If A1 has got the rebound, A2 makes his shot.

After each shot the players grab their rebounds, pass and take a new spot and await the next pass.
