Basketball drills for technique shooting

This exercise helps players with their conditioning and their ability to shoot a ball while running as well as when they are tired.

1. break up your team into three groups of four players each. One group is located on each baseline and one group is in the middle of the court, as shown in the picture.

2. The four players on the center line must spread out along the center line.

3. the groups of four players standing on the baselines each get a basketball. 

4. When the whistle sounds, the players in the middle run to the baseline and ask for a ball that is passed to them by a player on the baseline.

5. The player then catches the ball, shoots at the nearest basket and retrieves his own rebound.

6. The person who has passed the ball runs to the other end of the court and gets a pass from the other baseline and the rotation continues.

Learning points

• players should be reminded to work hard in this exercise for conditioning purposes. 
• They should also give a target for passing the ball and use appropriate footwork and shooting techniques. 
• Make sure that the passes are clean and good

Variations

• The type of scoring can be varied in this exercise (3-point, mid-range, lay-ups, etc.)
• Give the players a  certain time and a goal for the number of points to be made. 
• This can be varied depending on the ability of the team or the time you have available.

Lay-up exercise across the width of the room:

After you've made the lay-up, catch the ball and play it through with a bounce pass to a player without the ball in the row you came from!

• Place some baskets down.
• Large, small, high and low baskets.
• Always let two players get as many points as possible by throwing the basketball into the baskets.
• The smallest basket that is furthest away awards the most points.
• The biggest basket that is closest is worth less points.
• Whoever scores 10 points first wins
• This basketball game can also be played with hoops on the ground.
• A good exercise to learn how to aim.

• The teacher places 2 pilons.
• See floor plan for the precise location, keep the basketball lines.
• The teacher divides the students into 2 teams and each team stands behind a pilon.
• The teams have to shoot the ball from the pilon into the basket.
• When a student has shot, he/she picks up the ball, gives/passes the ball to the next in line and connects to the back of the line again.
• Every ball that goes into the basket is a point.
• The team that scored 5 points first wins.

• Depends on the number of balls. 
• In pairs or alone
• When alone:
  • Start at your position, dribble across the basket. 
  • Set or Jumpshot from your position (Guard, forward, center). 
  • Up to 8 points.

• B moves to row A. Player A catches his own ball and connects in row B.
• Left and right, basic drill for pick & roll offense.
• Can be played with 2 baskets.

• Team with 3 balls in a row on the freethrow line.
  • First one shoots, 
  • second one shoots, 
  • If the previous player misses, the next player can shoot him out of the game.
