Pitino Shooting Drill
Ages: All Ages Youth Middle School High School+
Purpose of the Drill:
To allow players to develop that ability to shoot off the catch, off the dribble, and finish at the rim.
Instructions
- In this 7 spot drill, the player shoots a corner 3 running to opposite corner after their shot to take a 3 from opposite corner. Then they run back to original corner for a one dribble pull-up before heading to opposite corner to do the same. Finally, the player will return to original corner for a catch-rip- 1 dribblelayup.
- This series will be completed at each of the seven cones.
- This drill can be done individually or with multiple players (no more than 3)
- With more than one player, keep score and go until you reach 42 points. Three pointers are worth 3, pullups are worth 2, layups are worth 1.
- With one player, the coach should rebound. With more than one, the players can rebound.
Points of Emphasis:
- Proper footwork should be emphasized.
- Be low and have your hands ready to shoot.
- Push the ball out on pull up jumpers or layups.
- Use a change of direction dribble on pull up jumpers or layups for more advanced work.
- With more than one player, good passes should be emphasized.
- Work through fatigue and be sure to keep using your legs at the end. You will feel it!
Motivation/Teaching Tips:
- You can turn this in to a competition if you have more than one player or group.
- See who reaches 42 points first or with one player, try playing to 21.
