Team Shooting Drills

Team shooting drills are drills that involve multiple players. These are great for practices and group training sessions. Ideally, you can tailor your team shooting drills to your team’s offense. Doing this will give your player reps out of your offensive actions and from locations on the court you want their shots to be taken.

When to Use Each Type of Drill?

With these different types of drills in your coaching toolbox, you can pick the tool that works best for the job or problem you need to solve.

If your players primarily need to improve technique or build confidence, you might spend more practice time on individual shooting drills. On the other hand, if your players make shots in practice but struggle in games, you might spend more time on both random and game-based shooting drills.

In a team setting, you might use team drills that replicate the shots you get in your offense.

Ideally, your shooting workouts combine the various types of drills.

Beginner or Youth Shooting Drills

Youth coaches are often searching for drills for their youth team. With minor adjustments, you can use the same shooting drills for youth and advanced players. The only difference is you should spend more time on technique with youth players, stay closer to the basket, use the appropriate size/weight ball, and adjust the hoop height as needed.

These are important adjustments to ensure your players learn proper shooting form... since youth players do not have the strength to shoot properly from long distance or with a full size ball.
