This is a great drill for basketball players of all ages and skills levels. It also will provide excellent feedback on what type of shooter a player is. The goal is to be an above average shooter that consistently makes shots.

This is a simple drill where a player will make 10 shots from the 5 basics sports on the basketball court.

  1. Right baseline
  2. Right Wing
  3. Straight on
  4. Left Wing
  5. Left baseline

It is critical a player records the number of makes and misses. If a player strives to be an above average shooter, knowing shooting percentages is a MUST!

Know Your Range: Shooting outside a player’s range is the #1 problem at all levels of basketball. Players should be making AT LEAST 50% of the shots in practice. If a player is missing more than 50% of the shots, step in because you are shooting outside your range.

Make 10 Shots from each spot: A player will make 10 shots from each spot.

Above Average Shooters (66.7% – 100%): 10/14 – 10/10

Average Shooters (33.4% – 66.6%): 10/29 – 10/15

Below Average Shooters (0% – 33.0%): 10/30 and higher

Record the number of made shots and misses. Calculate the percentage. If it is less than 60% move in next time.

Variation: Take 10 shots from each spot and record your percentage.
