Quick Drill: Shooting Under Pressure

Image
How the Drill Works: Players must complete eight shots (two from each high post) while "under the pressure" of knowing that if they miss the shot, they have to join the same line and try again. Purpose: Allows players to practice shooting open jump shots while under mental pressure. Setup: 4 lines of players on each elbow. Can be as many players as you like. 4 basketballs. One with the first person in each of the lines.   Instructions: 1.  When the coach says to start, the first person in each line takes a shot and returns the ball back to the same line.   If they make the shot they move to the next line, if they miss they join the same line to try again. 2.  This process continues until a player has made a total of eight shots. Scoring System: Each player counts their own amount of makes until they reach eight made shots (make two shots from each elbow). You can decide whether to stop after there is a winner or keep playing until everyone ...

Shooting Drill To Practice with Your Young Royal!

Image
How the Drill Works: Players at the top of the key dribble down and perform a handoff, with a wing player cutting to the top of the key, who then takes the shot or drives for the layup. Purpose: To work on shooting off hand-offs, and perfecting them.  This can be a tricky skill for for players to master, unless they practice often. Setup: Two lines at the top of the key. Both have two basketballs in each line.  One line of players on the lower end of each wing. Instructions: 1.  The first players from the top of the key dribble down to the wing on their respective sides. At the same time, the wing player should be making cut towards the baseline. 2.  Making sure to change speeds, the wing player explodes up towards the wing, receives the hand-off and then performs a certain shot. 3.  The person that hands off the basketball joins the end of the wing-line. 4.  The shooter rebounds their basketball, and then joins the line at the top...

The Importance of Summer Camps & Clinics: Adding Depth to your Child's Game

Image
Why should your Child attend Camps & Clinics?  With many youth basketball teams, the trend over the past couple decades has been to play more games and do less skill work. While games are important, your child needs a healthy balance of game time and practice time. The problem with more games and less practice is that your child will touch the ball much less. With more touches, your child becomes a better basketball player.  With all things being equal, we'll break down a typical 32-minute game:  32 x 5 = 160 total minutes for a team of 8 players.  160 minutes / 8 players = 20 minutes per player.  20 minutes per player / 2 = 10 minutes of time that your team is on offense.  10 minutes / 5 players = your child is only touching the ball for two minutes per game!!  During our typical skill sessions, the player will have the ball in their hands 60 to 90 minutes.  That means you have to play 30 to 45 games to touch the ball as much as...
