Drill
Type: Shooting
Description: Using one ball,
Form players into two lines as in Diagram A,
Give the ball to the first player in either of the lines.
Player with the ball dribbles to basket and shoot a lay-up, as in Diagram A.
This shooter gets own rebound and passes the ball to the first player in the opposite line, as in Diagram B.
Player who has shot, rebounded, and passed the ball follows her/his pass to the end of the line s/he passed to, as in Diagram C.
Player catching the pass, immediately drives toward the basket to shoot their lay-up without waiting for the passer to join the end of the line.
Encourage using left hand on the left side and right hand on the right side.
Variations: 1. Time the drill, counting the number of baskets made in the given time. Challenge players to do the drill again, scoring more than the previous time, or their best previous score. 2. Indicate the drill will continue until 5, 10, 20 baskets are scored in a row. Also indicate if there are more than 5 misses before they reach the required number in a row that everyone runs a lap for each miss above 5. Reward them with, if they reach the number in a row with less misses they have a bonus to use in a future drill where their performance still needs improvement. 3. If you have enough player, set this drill up at two or three baskets and challenge the various groups to find out which group is best, i.e., has the highest number in in the timed variation, or gets the required number in in a row first.
Points of Emphasis: 1. Accuracy in shooting. 2. Shooting accurately when pressed by time in variation 1 above. 3. Left side dribbles and shoots left handed, and visa versa on the right.
