Basketball Shooting Tips

I received these suggestions on basketball shooting tips from Jim and Greg in Syracuse NY.

From Jim…
This is a great conditioning drill and simulates game like conditions for free throw shooting.

Divide your team into groups of three.  First player shoots 2 free throws, the 2nd player rebounds, while the 3rd player runs a lap around the gym.  By the time the 2 free throws are shot, the player who was running becomes the shooter.  The shooter] becomes the rebounder and the rebounder becomes the runner.

Run this basketball drill for about 10 minutes each practice and I guarantee your players will be better conditioned and“  better free throw shooters.

From Greg…
My drill of choice for my 10 year olds is a weak hand only ]scrimmage, holding one hand behind their back while dribbling and playing“  “D” using only their off hand, for ball and body control, plus some fun.
