Elite Player Workouts: Shooting Development

Form Shooting

1-Hand form shots-Make 3 shots from 5 spots (3-5 ft from basket) repeat from 10 ft. Add guide hand and repeat the drill.

Spot Shooting-Make 3 shots from all seven spots on the floor. ***This is 100% live. Use your rocker step or quick hop form, along with proper form you worked on during form shots.

2 Minute Shooting (NOTE: Need a teammate to rebound/pass)-Put 2:00 minutes on the clock. Make 2 shots from each of the 7 spots on the floor. Once you make it around the arc, you have to repeat the drill and make it back to where you started. 28 game speed makes in 2:00 minutes to complete the drill.

Shooting on the Move

Note: All of these drills are designed to make you a better shooter OFF-Ball. Learn how to move and space without the ball to take your game to an ELITE level. 

Slide and Shoot (Note: Need a partner to rebound and pass)- Slide around the arc while working on your 1-2 shooting or quick hop; make sure not to cross your feet and keep a low “shot ready” base.

Cone Shooting-Place cones on the 7 spots on the floor. Start underneath the basket and cut around each of the cones receiving a pass you clear the cone…..rise up using “inside foot” shooting technique to shoot your shot.

Using Off-Ball Screens (Note: Use a chair, trashcan, or cones as your screener)-Make 5: curl lay-ups, curl jump shots, straight cuts to jump shots, fade cuts to jump shots and backdoor lay-ups.

Shooting off the Dribble

Spot Shooting Pull-Ups-From 7 spots on the floor make 1 pull-up going each direction. Alternate going left-right. Repeat drill using a 1-dribble pull-up and 2-dribble pull-up.

Partner Close-outs (Note: Need a partner to simulate defender)-Defender tosses ball to offensive player, on the catch offensive player will attack the defender’s hip. Offensive player will rip by the defender to shoot a pull-up, shooter/offensive player grabs own rebound and repeats the drill with partner. 15-20 reps around the arc.
