2 Minute Magic Shooting Drill

By Brian Williams on July 3, 2017

2 Minute Magic Shooting Drill

This drill is among the thousands of resources for both coaches and player available from basketballhq. They have several more videos as well as basketball coaching resource articles.

You can use this drill to get some ideas for a way to create a similar routine into your practices or improvement season workouts. I like the idea of a timed competition to keep players focused. You can substitute your own finishing moves such as jump hooks, floaters, up and under, or anything that your players use to score in the lane.

A good time for college players is 8 minutes, but for high school it could be 9 minutes. The best way for you to determine the time is by running the drill with your squad a few times–especially if you make adjustments to adapt the drill to different shots.

Layup drills are 10 makes, jump shots require 8 minutes from each spot.

The drill is from Coach Mike Roberts, University of North Carolina Greensboro Assistant Mens Coach

Please make sure your sound is on to see the video.

    In the 8 minute drill your shooter travels every time. If you are going to demonstrate proper shooting it wold be best not to have the shooter catch and then reset his feet. His feet should set as he catches the ball not after he has already caught the ball.

    Hi Patricia,

    Thanks for your input. The purpose of all posts on this site are to give basketball coaches ideas to stimulate their thinking for ways to improve their programs.

    Anything you see that you don’t like, I would recommend not to use. Thanks for your time to comment!
