Basketball Shooting Drills - PIVOT SHOT DRILL

Description:

None

Instructions:

The passer (either a coach or another player) has the ball and stands on the perimeter. player 2 stands outside of the three-second area. player 1 is the defensive player and stands between player 2 and the baseline. The other players form a line behind player 3 behind the baseline.

player 2 posts up, raises her ballside hand, and receives the ball. She pivots on her outside foot away from player 1.

player 2 then squares up and shoots a jump shot.

If player 1 moves in front of player 2, player 2 steps to her non-pivot foot, sealing off player 1. player 2 then takes one dribble and makes a power layup to the basket.

The players then repeat the drill after rotating positions clockwise. Remember to include the passer in the rotation if she is a player.

The players continue to rotate positions and repeat the drill until each player has played each position three times.
