1 Minute Transition Basketball Shooting Drill

Being able to run in transition and shoot transitions three-pointers at a high percentage really opens up the floor. It forces the defense to pick up higher or give up open shots. This allows the ball handler to have more space to work and puts the defense in a tough position if the offensive post player is running hard to the rim.

This basketball shooting drill will really help the player to get a lot of repetitions at the same shot. This is also a great catch and shoot basketball shooting drill to work on conditioning and mental toughness. It will force the player to make shots as they get tired and stay mentally locked in. Basketball drills like this are great because they practice game-specific shots for a player. The more a player can get comfortable running the floor in transition and then coming into their shot with the correct footwork, form, etc., the higher the percentage the shot will be.
