Shooter Special

To improve players shooting on the run and making passes down the floor without the dribble. Helps improve teamwork, basic fundamentals needed to run the break and keeps everyone involved.

Instructions

Players line up evenly on hash marks on the same side of the court. One player each line up under each basket for a total of 2 players each with a ball. On coaches whistle, players with the ball will start by shooting the ball at their own basket, and then begin the drill. Opposite side player of other teammates will dribble the length of the court and then stop and shoot the jumper and rebound. Then without dribbling, player will make a pass to the first hashline mark line sprinting back down the floor. Hashmark line one will pass back to streaking player at halfcourt who then in turn passes to hashmark line number 2, after receiving the pass back from line 2 at the elbow, they will shoot the layin. Player from line 2 will trail and rebound, then start the process again.

Variations

  • Time the drill to see how many jump-shots and layins are made.
  • Pre-determine the amount needed to make in allotted time.
  • If more than 10 players, make 4 hashmark lines or split your team into more than one drill at a time if space allows.

Tips

  • Have 2 balls to start, one at each end, then increase the amount after mastery of drill. Encourage players to pass and receive without travelling or putting the ball on the floor on the hashmark line side.
