Set-up. Pair up players and spread out about ten
feet from each other as shown in the diagram. Each pair has one basketball.
The Activity - Players work on thier shooting technique
by shooting at an imaginary basket above thier partner. Once the partner
catches the basketball, he/she does the same , and takes a practice
shot back to thier partner. Repeat for 10 to 50 times.
Coaching Point- Great opportunity for coaches to walk
up and down the lines giving points on how to shoot better. Another
variation if teaching the beef method, would be to have the players
take 10 shots focusing on balance, then ten shots focusing on keepeing
elbow in, etc.
