How it Works

Place five shooting spots around the key: both short corners, both wings, and the top of the key. Players start with a basketball at the first spot.

• Players shoot from each of the five designated spots.
• They must make a shot to move to the next spot.
• If a shot is missed, the player must stay at that spot until they make one.
• Once all five spots are completed, the player can reverse the direction and repeat.
• The challenge can be done individually or in small groups, with or without rebounders.

Progression/Variation

• Add a time limit to complete the circuit.
• Use only bank shots or require a jump stop before each shot.
• Include a dribble move before each shot to increase difficulty.

Coaching Points

• Emphasize consistent footwork and shooting rhythm at each spot.
• Reinforce proper shot preparation—balance, hand placement, and follow-through.
• Encourage players to track their scores to measure progress over time.

Why This Drill Works

This drill develops consistency, range, and mental focus—especially for younger players still learning to shoot with purpose. It challenges them to make shots under a bit of pressure and rewards accuracy with progression through the drill. Because it’s easy to modify, it scales well for any age or skill level and fits perfectly into individual workouts, partner shooting, or small-group stations. Whether you’re working on form or competition, this is a foundational shooting drill that belongs in every practice.
