Around the World -This is a drill that you can taylor to own shooting range and can check out your progression by keeping scores of your makes. Take two shots from one of five designated shots followed by a lay-up. You get two points for each jump shot and one point for each made lay-up.
The five spots are
- Corner -15’ -20’ depending on your range
- Right Wing - 15’ -20’ depending on your range
- Foul line
- Left wing 15’ -20’ depending on your range
- Left corner 15’ -20’ depending on your range
Once all five spots are covered, work your way back beginning with the left corner again and then the other four spots. That will give you 20 shots and 5 lay-ups.
And if you miss both shots and the lay-up at any of the five spots you score goes back to zero.
With the first option, you can build up your score while the second option teaches the importance of making lay-ups.
