The Shot Doctor

This drill requires two players and one manager or coach. This drill provide players with not only great conditioning work, but also it will simulate game-like shots, cutting without the ball, boxing out, and rebounding.

Instructions

• Player one starts underneath the basket with the basketball.
• He then throws the ball out to player two who is standing at the three-point line.
• Player one then boxes out the coach or manager with a pad as player two shoots the ball.
• Player one must then rebound the shot, and while this is going on player two makes a v-cut towards the basket.
• Player one then makes a pass as player two gets close to the basket.
• The coach or manager then makes contact with the pad on player two who shoots a layup.
• While player two is shooting his/her lay-up, player one sprints out to the next outside shot-spot.
• The drill then repeats steps one through six.

Tips

• The player boxing out must get low with his arms out. Be physical, push the coach or manager back, and then go get the ball.
• The player waiting to shoot must get his body and feet prepared to shoot, square your shoulders, elevate with your legs, focus on the goal, and follow through.
• The player making the cut must use change of pace and change of direction and then explode to the whole.
• The player passing the ball must make a solid pass to the cutter.
• Sprint at all times!
