About This Activity
Description
This 4-week program bridges the gap from community club basketball season to AAU basketball season. It's also a great kick start to a summer shooting program. The program is designed specifically to improving your shooting percentage. A player’s shooting percentage is directly related to their shooting mechanics, footwork, shot readiness (physical and cognitive), ability to create space, decision making and confidence. Each one hour session will focus on improving these skills and applying them to competitive small sided shooting games. There will not be 5 on 5 games. Games will be smaller and faster to allow more opportunities and repetitions for each player. The modern game requires all 5 players on the court to be able to shoot the ball at a high efficiency, allowing for appropriate spacing and pressure on the defense. Start building your better shooting now!
Session 1 – Focus On Footwork – the shot flows from the ground up, so that is where we start.
Session 2 – Flow and Finish – building off week one’s footwork we will finish the shot on the top
Session 3 – Shooting off the dribble and basketball decision making and mental readiness - learn how to know when to shoot before you even have the ball, learn how to create space with the ball.
Session 4 - Footwork and decision making to create space and shot readiness part 2.
