Shooting Drills

Okay, if you all ready havn't figured out the obvious, this is the place to find shooting drills. These shooting drills are solitary drills, and not team ones. There arn't way too many of them, so if you have another one you think that I could use then e-mail me with the subject "shooting drill" or post on my message board.

Form Shooting 2


Form Shooting: This drill is where you try to practice your form. You do this by using proper form (It's on many pages, so I won't bother putting it here, possibly someday though). You start at your baseline (dosnt really matter which one) about 4-5 feet away. You shoot from there, trying to use best form as possible. After that shot you have to move to closer to the basket line and shoot again. Just repeat this until you have gone all the way around and back.

Pop-Up Shooting: You stand squared to the basket. Then you pivot 3 times, squaring up after each pivot. On the third time, shoot when squared.

Hornacek Shooting: Spin pass the ball to yourself (so that it comes back), catch it, then get into the triple-threat position, shoot it, and rebound. Do this at 20 diffrent game spots at game speed.

Beat Your Favorite Pro: In this game you must shoot at game spots at game speeds. You just shoot around and for every shot you make, you get a point, but if you miss, your favorite pro gets two points. The first one to a certain number (usually ten) wins.

Free Throw Like A Pro: In this game you shoot from one spot, the foul line. You shoot start by shooting 3 free throws, if you make it you get a point, but if you miss, you lose a point. You are shooting to 10 points. When you get to nine you have to make 2/2 free throws.

Free Throw Swish: You start with 5 points. You shoot from the free throw line, if you get nothing but net you get a point, if its not a nothing but net and you make it, your score stays the same. If you miss it, then you lose a point. If you get to 10, you win, If you get to 0, you lose.

Form Shooting 2: You start out on the basket line about 4 feet away. If you make the shot, you take a step back, if you miss, you take a step towards the basket. When you get to the foul line, you have finished. This drill should be done in good form.
