Basketball Drills: Spin Out Shots

This is one of our game pace shooting basketball drills. We have several basketball drills that are designed to improve individual shooting and dribbling skills. You can see them in our basketball videos section.

In order to simulate shooting after catching a pass in a game, stand under the basket, spin the ball out to yourself, make a hard cut to the ball, square in the air, land and shoot. All of this must be done at a hard, game-like pace. If the pace is not game-like you are not improving.

To win the game, the shooter must make 10 in a row without missing two in a row. Each workout, choose one of the four versions listed below by itself as one competitive shooting game in your twenty game competitive workout.

Version#1 Straight catch and shoot.

Version #2 Shot fake, one get away dribble, shot.

Version #3 Shot fake, dribble, then a dribble move to beat a simulated defender. Finish at the basket with a two foot power layup.

Version #4 Mix it up--do any of the above 3, but never do the same move two times in a row.
