Basketball drill: scoring - advanced
Scoring - Advanced
To improve shooting, the players practice the movement first without the actual basket.
- They stand in position with knees slightly bent,
- hold a basketball with the strong hand under the ball and the other hand behind it.
- The players bring the ball to the shot zone (in front of and above the head).
- Next, the players push the basketball in the desired direction after which the hand and wrist move downwards (gooseneck).
- If this goes well, the players can try to shoot in the direction of the basket.
- They can vary with place and distance.
The players practice the lay-up.
- They divide themselves over 2 rows, 1 on the left side of the basket and 1 on the right side of the basket.
- The first player of each row dribbles to the basket with the strong hand.
- Then the player takes 2 steps, first with the strong leg, then with the weaker leg.
- The player takes a jump with the strong leg and tries to throw the ball against the square on the board after which it ends up in the basket.
- The player catches the ball and dribbles to the row on the other side and then ends at the back of the row to try it from the other side.
