Basketball Drills: 45 spot up shots inside arc Shoot slow no pressure shots just inside the three point arc. To do this drill, the shooter needs a rebounder. An emphasis is for the shooter to get their feet set and shoot these at about the same pace as when shooting rim flips.

Basketball Drills: Gotcha This game is also called “knockout” or “thunder and lightening.”  Put the players in a single file line at the free throw line.  The first two players have basketballs.  The object is to make a basket before the player in front of you does.  If the shot is missed from the free throw line, you follow it and keep shooting until you make it, or the player behind you puts you out.  If you score before he does, you throw the ball back to the next player and return to line.  You cannot touch another player’s basketball.
