Fundamentals of Shooting a Basketball

I’ve gotten a whole bunch of requests for basketball drills to use for fundamentals of shooting a baskeball over the past few days.  Here are a couple of ideas sent in to me by subscribers.  Keep ’em coming!

From Jay…
Here is a basketball shooting drill I call “31” that the kids like.
“ 
Start with 2 players at each basket with one ball for each 2 man team.
The first player shoots a jump shot and gets his own rebound and shoots a lay up, then rebounds and pass to player #2 to do the same. They get two points for every made jump shot and one point for the lay up.

The first team to 31 wins. With my team of 10 players I will use five baskets at once and I will have them move to five different spots to shoot the first shot. “ It also works well with 3 pointers.

Rebound-Putback Drill
With my 4th grade girls, I have them form a line on the right side of the basket.  I stand on the left, shoot the ball over the basket, and the first girl in line rebounds the basketball and puts it right back up into the hoop.  She goes to the end of the line, I grab the ball and shoot it over again for the next girl. 

Go through the line a few times and then switch sides.  Very effective offensive basketball rebound drill that leads to many baskets during the game.
