Shooting

Foul Shooting Drill

The drill is designed to add an element of game-like pressure to shooting foul shots in practice. It forces players to concentrate at the foul line instead of just ‘going through the motions’.

• the baseline opposite your shooting hand
• halfway between the baseline and a line dividing the lane in half, opposite your shooting hand
• straight out from the basket
• halfway between the baseline and a line dividing the lane in half, near your shooting hand

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

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.

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.

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

• normal left-hand, underhanded lay-up
• left-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.
• left-hand, under-the basket reverse lay-up. Your players should plant their right 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)
• right-hand, reverse lay-up, after crossing over from the left hand dribble under the basket. (We call this an Outside Pivot)
• two-foot jump stop just before the basket, with a left foot crossover step to a right handed short hook shot.
• power dribble to a power left 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.

Cougars Rapid Fire Lay-ups

This drill teaches snappy passes, quick movement, lay-ups and emphasizes good communication. Because of the rapid pace and quick ball movement, failure to communicate will cause all types of havoc in the lane.

Chair Shooting

Set a chair up at the freethrow elbow extention to the three point line. A ball is set on the chair and a player next to the chair. A player is rebounding as well. Then the shooter starts at the chair and then sprints to the half court line then back to the chair in a low squared up position with his wrist back in shooting mode so he can pick the ball up snatch it back and shoot. Repeat on both sides of the three point line. Continue untill shooter MAKES 10-15 shots. then shooter rotates to rebounder and rebounder to the player who sets the ball up on the chair. Then the chair boy rotates to shooter.

Bump ball

2 balls ‘Shooter’ attempts to make foul shot. If he misses he tries to get rebound before next player sinks his foul shot. ‘Rebounder’ may try to bump ‘Foul shooter’s’ ball so as to interfere with it going in, in order to bide time so that
rebounder can get ball in first.
