Player starts with his initial position in front of the basket. Using good balance, aiming, concentration and follow-through shoots the ball at the target. If the shot is successful, he takes one step backward, taking a pass from the coach who retrieves the ball.

This procedure is repeated until player reaches the free-throw line. If he misses a shot, the player must start from the beginning.

Upon successful completion of all shots back to the free-throw line, the player shoots 10 free-throws. Upon completion the player records his successes in his notebook and posts it on the team bulletin board in locker room.

This drill is designed to teach players in importance of concentration when shooting the basketball.

1. Place the team in three rows as illustrated.
2. The first player in the middle row shoots two free throws while the other two lines try to distract him by talking to him or waving their hands. Do not allow them to touch him in any way.
3. Performers rotate clockwise, going to the end of another line as three new players move up to take their places.

The purpose of this drill is to get players in the habit of reacting to every shot, regardless whether it was made or missed.

1. Station six players at a basket. In the drill #1, #3, and #5 are a team and #2, #4, and #6 are another team.
2. If #1 makes the shot, he continues shooting until he makes five in a row. At that time, a teammate becomes a shooter. Any time he should miss, a teammate will become the shooter until all members of one team have had a turn. Then, the three members of the other team take their turn in like manner.
3. When a shooter misses, his teammates try to make tip-ins. The opposing team tries to gain possession and dribble out to the free throw line while the shooting team tries to prevent them. If the opposing team is successful in dribbling the ball out, they become shooters this way.
4. Count each field goal or tip-in as two points and each free throw as one point. The objective of the game is to score 21 points.

The purpose of this drill is to put as much game-type pressure on the shooter as possible.

1. Place 5 players at each basket.
2. Without a time limit, have each player to shoot twice so that if everyone is accurate, they would have scored 10 points at the end of one round.
3. The team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.

This game doesn't allow mechanical shooting to set in because the player must move from one goal to the next. Most modern gyms have at least six goals; however, this game can be adjusted to any number of goals within a gym.

1. All players start at the same goal. Each player shoots one shot then moves counter-clockwise to the next goal.
2. After every player has shot at all goals, check to see how many par shooters you have on the squad. Par is the number of goals in the gym.
