This post contains 3 shooting and scoring drills for your players to use in their spring and summer workouts.
I found the drills on the Jes Basketball Playbook site.
It contains several other drills that can be used in your practices and also in individual skill development workouts.
There are several types of drills in addition to shooting drills.
There site also contains a section with plays to run against various types of defenses.
6 Spot Perimeter Shooting Drill
Submitted by : Brett Coxsedge
Player sprints and picks up the basketball from each of the 4 chairs and shoots from that spot.
After shooting the 4 shots, player 1 then sprints to midcourt and picks up the basketball, dribbles it to the elbow and shoots, then sprints back the ten second line to pick the other basketball up and repeats the dribble to the elbow and shot.
There are several ways to make this drill competitive. One way is time players form start to the release of the 6th shot. Add 2 seconds to the time for each missed shot.
