An excellent shooting drill to work catching the ball ready to shoot and also allow players to get warmed up. We do this drill every day for 10 minutes at the beginning of practice and before every game. This drill allows constant shooting for 10 minutes.
Players line up in 2 lines out of bounds under the basket. (Width of the free throw lane) Start with 2 balls in each line. Line A (left side) starts with the balls in the second and third players hands. Line B (right side) begins with the balls in the first and second mans hand. First player in line A cuts inbounds from the left side to 1 foot under the basket on the right side. First person with the ball in line B passes the ball to the cutter and then cuts from his line on the right side to 1 foot under the basket on the left side. (After receiving the pass players pivot off their inside foot, turn and shoot, get their own rebound and pass ball to next man in line without a ball on the side they are now on. They will then go to the back of that line) After several minutes players cut to the block on the free throw lane for a 3 foot shot. After several minutes begin cutting to the corners of the free throw lane. Then begin cutting to the three-point line.
