Shooting Basketball
I received this suggestion for a shooting basketball drill from Oscar.
Oscar uses a simple box out drill he likes. “
I have twelve kids on my basketball“ team so I break them up into two groups so that everyone participates at the same time.
“
I have three kids facing the basket at the left elbow, foul line , right elbow. A few feet in front of them, I have the other three kids face them with their backs to the basket. “ “
A coach stands off to side on either block. He delivers a chest pass to one of the three facing the basket. The player receiving the ball can shoot immediatley, or do a pump fake and then take a shot. Once the ball leaves his hands, the player facing him yells “Shot” turns and must box out the shooter.
Shooting team gets a point for making the shot or getting the rebound. Rebounding team gets a point for getting the rebound.
It teaches players to follow their shots, box out, yell Shot, shoot right after receiving the ball.
