Warrior Shooting Drill

By Brian Williams on January 2, 2017

Warrior Shooting Drill

This shooting drill was contributed by Joel Hueser FastModel Sports Basketball Plays and Drills Library.

Coach Hueser is the Head Boys Coach at Papillion-LaVista South High School High School in Nebraska.

The comments along with each diagram are from Coach Hueser.

Warrior Shooting is a great drill simulating a variety of cuts:
1) Basket Cut
2) Using a Pin Down
3) Using a Flare Screen and
4) Back Cut.

The purpose of this post is to get your thoughts going about creating a similar drill that incorporates the shots that your players get in games.

In addition to game spots, I like to have shooting drills include a scoring and timing element as well.

Shot #1 Worth 1 Point:

Shooter starts at half court (or top of the key extended if space doesn’t allow), catches on the move and attacks the basket.

Points of Emphasis:

-Catch on the run and attack the basket with a 45 degree angle cut.

Shot #2 Worth 2 Points:

Shooter continues his cut to simulate using a pin down screen and shoots near the freethrow elbow.

Points of Emphasis:

-Emphasize inside-pivot.

 

Shot #2 Worth 2 Points:

Shooter continues his cut to simulate using a pin down screen and shoots near the freethrow elbow.

Points of Emphasis:

-Emphasize inside-pivot.

 

Shot #4 Worth 1 Points:

This will be the same as shot #1 but on the opposite side.

There are two ways to do this: 1) Sprint to halfcourt, or 2) Cut hard to ball level and simulate a back cut. We prefer this more times than not.

Points of Emphasis:

-Shot #5 & #6 will also be the same as #2 & #3.
-After the 1st shooter is done, the passer becomes the shooter and the rebounder passes.
-Repeat this again, but start on the opposite side.

And, below is a short video demonstrating the drill
