4Spot Fastbreak Shooting Drill

Drill Purpose:

This drill is great to work on shooting off the break. You can do it by yourself or with a partner. We also show you how to work ball handling into this drill, so you can manage your time better.

Instructions

Start at half court with a ball.
Spin the ball towards the 3-point line area. Spin the ball high enough to get there in one bounce.
Run under the ball and step-into a jump shot.
Get your own rebound. If you miss, score a lay up.
When dribbling the ball back to half-court, perform a dribble move at the 3-point line. That way, you can work on ball-handling at the same time.

Once, you get back to half court, do the same thing again.
If working with a partner, you can have the partner position himself a little above the 3-point line and make passes to you as you start running from half-court.
Pick 4 spots on the floor and take a few shots from each spot.
