We are big fans of a UNO shooting drill Coach Derrin Hansen (@DerrinHansen) shared with us almost ten years ago. Throughout the course of the summer and fall many of our players will do this drill 2-3 times a week if not more. When it's all said and done, each player will have made 100 field goals. The workout can be finished in 20-25 minutes depending on age, skill level and intensity. We like the variety of game-like conditions presented in this workout: shooting, passing and rebounding.
4 Spot Shooting (40 MFG's)
Shooter makes 8 from spot 1 (cone).
Shooter then makes 2 freethrows.
Passer rotates to Shooter and Rebounder to Passer.
Repeat until all 3 players have shot from all 4 spots (cones).
Points of Emphasis:
-Be shot ready.
-Good pass equals a good shot.
-3 players and 2 balls are needed for this drill.
