Warm Up Basketball Shooting Drill

Warm Up Basketball Shooting Drill

 

Great basketball shooters have a really good touch with the ball when they shoot it. They always seem to put the ball up on the rim and get a “shooter’s roll.” With this warm-up basketball shooting drill, you will work on developing your touch and warm up as well. It is a great basketball drill to use before starting a workout, practice, game, etc., because you will be able to warm your body up and get going, but you will get some quality shooting reps.

Another reason this is a great basketball shooting drill is because it can be done without a rebounder. Most catch and shoot basketball shooting drills require a teammate or a coach to rebound the basketball for you, but you can do this drill by yourself. Also, since this drill is not done at full speed but at a warm-up speed, it is perfect for working on shooting technique and footwork. So when you do this drill, you want to make sure that you are really locking in on getting squared up, holding your follow-through, and everything else that goes into a quality basketball shot. That way, when you speed it up and go game speed, these things will, hopefully, transfer over.
