Partner Shooting is a great drill to warm up. The first minute is critical as it allows you to hone your form inside the arc before you move back to the 3 point line.

Setup

• 1 shooter, 1 rebounder, 1 ball

(Diagram 1)

Instructions

• For the first minute, shoot catch and shoot shots from the free throw line.

(Diagram 2)

• For the second minute, move back to the top of the key and shoot 3’s.
• For the last minute, shoot 3’s, moving between each shot.

Coaching Tips

• Work on your shot prep. Make sure you show your hands to the passer. Be down and ready to shoot.
• Vary your footwork as you perform this and all the other drills. One time hop on every catch. One time step into the pass. Develop comfort with all types of footwork.

• Mix up running and sliding as you move in the 3rd minute. Whichever you do, don’t hug the 3 point line. Move with a slight arc so that you have a good angle to turn and step into your shot.
