How it Works

Scatter poly spots around the lane. Players start outside the three point line with a ball, dribble into the paint, stomp onto an open spot with a strong two foot jump stop, and finish with a close shot or simple layup. After finishing, they rebound, get back outside the arc, and attack a new spot right away.

Keep the rhythm fast and playful. The movement pattern is simple and reactive, similar to the color recognition work in Color Call Shooting. If you want to encourage softer touch, connect it to the arc control taught in Rainbow Shots. For short energetic cycles, you can guide the pace much like the repeated finishing rhythm in Lightning Ladders.

Progression Or Variation

• Add a required dribble move before stepping on a spot
• Require two foot layups or designated finishes
• Use colored spots and assign point values
• Run timed rounds or relay style races
• Shrink the paint space to challenge body control and awareness

Coaching Points

• Emphasize controlled two foot jump stops
• Encourage soft, confident finishes
• Remind players to keep their eyes up while dribbling
• Reinforce quick rebound and reset habits
• Keep the pace fast to maintain engagement

Why This Drill Works

Monster Stomp Shooting builds balance, body control, and finishing confidence in a simple format perfect for Mini Hoopers. The stomp teaches stability, the short finishes create consistent success, and the constant movement keeps the drill energetic. These early footwork and finishing habits set a foundation players will use as they grow into more advanced skills.
