Philosophy

• This is a great drill to work on footwork and shooting. It combines front pivots and shooting in a game-like way. It requires 2 chairs & 2 basketballs.

Instructions

• Put 2 chairs on the wing. Place a ball in each chair.
• Player 1 starts in between the chairs. They will run around the right chair, pick up the ball, and front pivot into a jump shot.
• 1 then between the chair and around the left chair. Again, they grab the ball, front pivot, & shoot.

(Diagram 2)

• The player continues the pattern for 10 shots, then repeats on the other side.

Coaching Tips

• 1. The shooter should stay low and make a hard front pivot into their shot. 2. The drill is best done with a partner rebounding and replacing the basketballs. 3. Adjust the shooting distance to the player’s experience and ability.
