Technique shooting games are the repetition shot stage (stage #2) of the competitive individual development workout. Each drill is done without defensive or time pressure. The goal for this phase is to develop a rhythm with proper technique. Shooting a basketball takes a lot of correct practice and in several stages. This section of the workout involves basketball shooting drills with an emphasis on correct technique and fundamentals of shooting a basketball. The following sections have drills that work with an emphasis of moving at game speed and then overloading the difficulty level so that you are pushed to develop toughness and the ability to shoot when you are physically tired. Since we encourage you to do your workouts daily, we offer several different drills to provide variety in your basketball workouts.
