Basketball Drills Cycle Shooting -

These drills were submitted to the FastModel Sports Basketball Plays and Drills Library by Coach Kyle Gilreath.

The site has thousands of drills and plays that have been submitted by basketball coaches from around the world.

Below his two drills, I have posted links to some other shooting drills that are posted here on the Coaching Toolbox.

Cycle Shooting

I really like this drill. I think it is worth experimenting with timing the drill to force the players to go at game pace.

This is a great shooting drill that will get your players working under pressure.

1 passes to 2, 2 takes two hard dribbles and kicks to 3, 3 takes two hard dribbles and kicks to 4, 4 shoots.

To make the drill competitive, time it to see how quickly the group can hit a specific number of shots and compete against the highest score you have for the year on your team.

Follow pass to next pass.Repeat the cycle until you make 8 before you miss 8.

50 Point Shooting Drill

Player shoots a three point shot and a two point shot. They will follow this pattern on different areas of the court until they reach 25 or 50 points. One rebounder is needed. Shooter must catch every pass behind the three point line for ALL shots.

Here is the scoring system for the drill:

25 Point Game Goal:

-Pro (:40)

-College (:50)

-HS (1:00)

Adjust time accordingly to reach 50 points.
