Team ‘Triple Shot’ Ups The Competition

Split your squad into two teams at opposite baskets, then have each player execute 3 shots of varying depth while keeping track of which group makes the most shots.

WHY USE IT

This is a great way to get players cheering on their teammates while building shooting skills. 

SET UP

Split your entire team into two separate groups and place each group at opposite baskets. Be sure the teams possess roughly the same shooting skill sets. There is a player on the left wing with a ball, a player at the top with a ball and a player on the right wing with a ball. The remaining players line up behind the left-wing player.

HOW TO PLAY

The left-wing play dribbles toward the baseline and takes a pull-up jumper, then follows the shot into the lane [1]. After getting inside the lane, the shooter sprints back to the 3-point line, stops, plants and cuts back toward the hoop. The player at the top throws a leading pass for the layup. After making the pass, 2 runs to the back of the left line [2]. After the layup, the shooter curls to the opposite elbow and receives a pass from 3, then shoots. 3 moves to the top. 1 moves to the right wing. 4 is now at the front of the line and the drill continues [3].

TECHNIQUE

Keep track of all made shots from all players. The side with the most makes wins. You also can set a time limit so players must work quickly.
