This shooting drill is from Arkansas women’s Coach Mike Neighbors when he was at Washington. He has a great newsletter that he sends it out each week. If you are interested in being added to his list, please email me and I will pass it along to him.
The following is his description and diagrams of the drill that he saw Sue Bird using.
This is a good 1-2 step, Game Spot, Game Shot drill… Doesn’t really fit Game Speed because we aren’t on the move between shots.
Shooter starts in corner. We will attempt 10 3-point shots. If she makes 7 or more she moves to the next spot on the wing. If she makes 6 she stays at the same spot.
If she makes 5 or fewer she moves backward a spot. We shot corner-wing-top-wing-corner-wing-top-wing-corner…
After the last spot, the move is to the FT line… must hit 3 Free Throws in a row to complete the drill.
This is a good warm-up or cool-down drill to work into your shooting workouts.

The 5 numbers in the diagrams are the five shooting spots, not other players.
This is a good warm-up or cool-down drill to work into your shooting workouts.
Variations:
Can change the numbers to accommodate skill level.
Shoot the seams rather than the spots.
We make it competitive if shooting head to head with first player to complete the spots. Can be total makes. Can be timed if you have good rebounders.
