Basketball Drill Instructions
- The goal of this drill is for the shooter to reach 100 total points (2’s and 3’s), and they have 10 spots to do it from; 3 pointers corner/mid-range corner, 3 pointers wing/mid-range wing, 3 pointers top of the key/mid-range top of the key, 3 pointers opposite wing/mid-range opposite wing, and 3 pointers opposite corner/mid-range opposite corner.
- The shooter will start in the corner shooting 3’s.
- They will continue to shoot until they miss a shot and will keep track of their total points (For example: if a shooter makes 3 in a row from the corner and then misses the 4th, they will have a total of 9 points and must move on to the next spot).
- The player will then move to mid-range shots in the corner until they miss; all of these makes are worth two points apiece.
- Continue all the way around the 10 spots keeping this same pattern and adding your points up as you go.
