Mirken Shooting Drill

This drill is created to teach players where to receive the basketball on the wings and how to get shots off from those spots.

There are 2 lines, 1 top of the key (passer) and the other foul line extended.

The wing player runs a v cut and pops back to the wing. Top of the key passes and the wing shoots. Passer goes to shooter line and shooter gets the rebound and goes to passer.

After the line goes through then, the v cutter catches, squares and ball fakes with 1 dribble to the baseline. Same rotations.

The same previous move, except that the passing line runs a v cut to the other elbow and gets the pass back from the shooter who has done his fake, dribble to the baseline.

Everything’s the same but no the shooter on the elbow passes back to the passer who has faded to the corner for the 3.

Everything is the same no the 3 shooter hits the passer from the elbow who runs a basket cut for the lay up.

Everything is the same except no the cutter runs all the way through to the opposite wing for the skip pass.

The players can get a lot of shots off and keeps them working on game moves. ENJOY IT!!!!

Shooting Relay

Split your team into four groups. Put one group at each basket. Each group will have two balls. Each player will soot and get his own rebound and pass to the next shooter. At all other baskets available put 2 balls, one on each elbow. Each player must make three shots (or a number you designate) before he can advance. When he makes his shots, he moves clockwise to the next hoop. The object is to see which team completes the circuit of every basket first.

Bank shot

Stand under basket as far as you can and still shoot a bank shot. Do 50 to 100 reps.

This is one of the most under rated drills because its so simple. It promotes proper form while strengthing the arm. The number of reps also promotes instintive ablity to square up properly and shoot with good form.

Also the speed at which you can rebound and go back up allows you to do this drill in a short amount of time. You can also do several sets of 50-100 reps as you advance and still finish ibn a short period of time.The key to this drill is to stand as far under the basket as you can and still bank the shot.
