Setup

  1. Two passers with a ball each at the top, a cone on each side of the lane as the screen, a rebounder under the ring.
  2. One shooter works, the rest pass or rebound and rotate after each set.

How it runs

  1. The shooter sprints off the cone to the wing, catches on the hop and shoots.
  2. Straight away they cross through the lane to the far corner for the next pass, then back off the cone.
  3. 60 seconds on, 60 seconds rest; three sets each. Count makes out of attempts.
  4. Rebounder feeds the ball back to the passers so the shooter never waits.

Coaching points

  • Sprint into the catch, then slow down: feet set before the ball arrives.
  • Hands ready at the chest, same base and release on the last shot as on the first.
  • Use the cone as a real screen: run shoulder to shoulder past it.
  • Note the make rate in the last 20 seconds; that is your game number.

Common mistakes

  • Drifting into the catch and fading on the shot.
  • Jogging between shots and turning it into a shooting drill, not a fatigue drill.

Say it: “Sprint to the catch, settle the feet.”

Make it harder

  • Add a defender with a pad who closes out on every shot.
  • Shot fake and one dribble on every third catch.

Make it easier

  • Shoot from inside the arc for the first set.
  • 45 seconds on, 75 seconds rest.
