Wing Iso
Wing Iso is a simple play that clears space for your best driver to attack, with a backside option for passes or rebounds.
A foundational shooting drill that builds rhythm, range, and consistency. Simple to run and easy to scale for all youth basketball skill levels.
Set up five shooting spots around the perimeter: both corners, both wings, and the top. Players shoot a set number of shots at each spot—commonly three, five, or “make two before you move.” After completing a spot, players sprint to the next one and continue the sequence until all five spots are finished. Track makes to create competition.
Keep the pace high so players don’t stand and wait. Emphasize catching on balance and getting into the shot smoothly. These same rhythm habits transfer into movement shooting drills like 5-3-1 Shooting Relay where players must shoot quickly under time pressure.
If working with a partner, one rebounds while the other shoots, then they switch roles. For larger groups, run two balls per hoop to keep lines moving. You can also finish the series with a game-winning shot similar to the competitive feel in 3-on-3 Cutthroat. For players who struggle with footwork, add a simple catch-and-square pattern inspired by the mechanics used in 3-on-3 No Dribble.
• Make two at each spot before moving on
• Run the drill against a timer for added pressure
• Add a pump fake and one-dribble pull-up version
• Track rounds and try to beat the previous score
• Catch on two feet and get balanced quickly
• Keep your eyes on the rim early
• Hold your follow-through for consistency
• Sprint between spots to stay game-paced
5 Spot Shooting Challenge builds rhythm, conditioning, and consistency by forcing players to shoot from multiple angles at game speed. It encourages focus, repeatable mechanics, and natural competitive pressure. The 5 Spot Shooting Challenge drill is an effective way to develop confident, versatile shooters.
