Basketball drills for technique shooting


  • wave-9
    With 3 men on the back line and the middle one has the ball
  • The middle passes to a man and runs after the ball
  • The man in the middle passes to the man on the other side, who also runs after the ball.
  • They do this while running to the basket on the other side.
  • When someone is close enough to the basket, the man runs a lay-up.
  • He becomes the defender and the other two attackers must try to reach each other with a long ball.
  • The goal of the defender is to prevent the attackers from scoring.
  • If the attackers do not manage to score, they must do 5 push-ups.

wave-9


Goal:

  • shot from the elbow
  • outlet pass after score
  • overhead pass from low post to elbow


Organization:

  • after shot rebound and immediately step over the back line and take the ball
  • always chase your ball and take the next position
  • set a goal; e.g. 30 shots.


Teaching Points:

  • in the last step bring the ball above your head and turn your face towards the pitch
  • Tight overhead pass to the outlet
  • ask high for the ball
  • Pass the ball in the shot hand


Variations:

  • counterclockwise and clockwise
  • Fill up waiting time at the forward position with fake passes
  • The other way round: after scoring, pass to the elbow and shoot from the corner
  • 2 or 4 teams (1 or 2 fields)
  • Each team has 1 ball and is at the head of the bucket
  • Take turns shooting
  • If you score then you may go to the other basket to shoot a free throw
  • Is it touching, it is 1 point.
    • At 5 points the team has won
  • Possibly you can turn it into a conditioning training
  • When a shot is missed
  • There must then be run to the back line and back 

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!

lay-up-in-a-row

  • 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.


shootout-2

  • 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.
  • If you miss your shot, quickly finish under the basket. 
  • If the player behind it scores, the next player is out. 
  • Until one remains.
  • With 3 balls, faster, more effective than with 2.
  • Three rows. 
  • Shoot and join at the back of the next row.
  • Hurry up, watch where you're going.
  • Everybody catch a ball, catch your own ball and join the back of the next row.
  • Variations:
    • Up to the twenty or thirty.
    • Until everyone has scored ten times.


  • Player is explained shooting technique. 
  • Practicing over distance on the field. 
  • Pay attention to technique and the curve of the ball. After 10 practice throws in the field, the first player slides into the ring.
  • 1 Player stands in the first hoop and shoots. If it's in, it's 1 point, player moves to the second hoop and shoots , 2 points if it's scored. 
  • If it's not scored, then move to 1 hoop closer. If it's scored, move to the 3rd hoop.
  • If you score the 3rd hoop, you get 3 points and you may stay and shoot again. 
  • Max score is: 1-2-3-3-3-3-3-3=27 points.
  • Under the basket is a teammate who rebounds and passes the ball back to the shooter. 
  • After 10 attempts, shooter and rebounder change positions. 10 attempts again
  • Remember your score. 
  • After one session (10 throws each) these players go to the field to practice and move up the line. 
  • When everyone has finished, compare scores.
  • Points of attention: shooting technique, rebound action, (shooter ask for the ball) and passing technique.
drawing Shooting practice
  • Players in a row on the free throw line or for U10 and U12 a bit closer to the basket (put down pilons).
  • First two players have a ball.
  • Player 1 tries to shoot. 
  • When the ball is thrown, player 2 may also shoot.
  • If the player misses, go for the rebound as fast as possible, try to score from the area where the rebound is picked up (if it is behind the baseline, dribble in a bit).
  • If player 2 scores before player 1, player 1 is finished and is not allowed to play again.
  • After a goal is scored, pass as soon as possible to player 3 plays so that he can 'kill' his predecessor.
  • Connect yourself at the back of the row.
  • Play on until there is 1 player left. 
  • Note that the player who has to be played has to get out at the right side to be able to play. And that the scorer rebounds the ball as fast as possible and plays it back with a good tight pass.
