Basketball drills for technique shooting
- Player on top attacks the basket.
- Passes along the baseline.
- Ball to corner makes quick extra pass to wing who takes the 3 point shot.
- The player at the corner runs to the basket immediately after the pass.
- Where that gets the ball from the player on the wing on the opposite side works off under the hoop.
- White triangle takes rebound from the 3 point shot.
- Blue player takes own rebound. (Passing clockwise.)

- Station 1. (Basket 1)
- 3x2 play from the center line without dribbling (only passing, free running, pivoting)
- Station 2. (basket 2)
