Setup

• This drill uses 5 spots - the corners, the wings, & the top of the key.

(Diagram 1)

Instructions

• Start at spot 1. You must make 3 shots in a row at every spot. At spots 1 & 5, you will slide up towards the wing, then drift back to the corner. You’ll catch a pass and shoot a 3.

(Diagram 2)

• At every spot, if you miss 2 shots in a row, you must sprint to the opposite baseline & back before the next shot.
• After making 3 in a row in the corner, move to the wing. At each wing spot, you’ll shoot transition 3’s.
• Sprint from the arc to the volleyball line. Sprint back to the wing for a catch & shoot 3.
• After making 3 in a row on the wing, go to the top of the key. Once again, you’ll shoot transition 3’s.
• Sprint from the top of the key to half court & back. Catch and shoot a 3.

Coaching Tips

• Aim for BRAD (back rim & down shots). As you get tired, this helps prevent you from coming up short.
• Focus on your footwork as your catch on the move.
• SPRINT your transition 3’s. The more game-like you make the shots, the more carry over you’ll see to your games!
