Nice shooting drill:
I'd encourage shooting practice from both elbows, both corners, and the free throw line
1st drill: catch and shoot (as shown at the website) alternating elbows or the corners (after taking 10 shots, 'rest' by taking 5 free throws
2nd drill: same as first, but don't shoot, make a good upfake and ONE-DRIBBLE drive to basket for a layup (again 10 shots), rest with free throws
3rd drill: catch off the pass, upfake, and make a ONE-DRIBBLE lateral move off a jab step into a shot
You have to be able to find the "blue sky", openings to shoot.
NOTE: The ball is NOT shot out of the chest. Some of the best players in Melrose history could have improved even more with better technique. We want you to practice good technique at a young age. When my daughter, Paula was studying in Spain, she was amazed at how much better the younger players' fundamentals were than in the U.S.
