Shooting Drills: Dribble Down and Shoot Drill (Jump Shot)
The best way to become a better shooter is practice, practice, practice. That, of course is
assuming that a player has learned the proper shooting fundamentals. All the practicing in the
world will not matter, if a player’s technique is wrong. Before having your players do
shooting drill after shooting drill, make sure they know how to shoot the basketball. Since
you will have players of all different skills, have the players do the drills below and watch for
players that need help on the fundamentals, spend time correcting these players so that they
do not develop any bad shooting habits.
First have your team practice good head and shoulders fakes without a defender. Have them
lineup in the low post facing the basket. Execute the fake and then the corresponding next
move (shoot or drive to the basket). After your players are comfortable with the moves, add a
defender.
