Drill 1 – Dribbling and jumping
1. Jumping exercises - aiming higher with each jump. – 10 minutes
Digital image. N.p., n.d. Web. 26 Nov. 2013. <http://www.bettervertical.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Squat-Jump.png>.
Squat down with your hands touching the floor then jump and bring yourselfup higher with each jump. Swing your hands from behind your back to your
front and above you during the jump to aid in increasing the height of your
vertical leap. The aim of this exercise is to improve the height of your jump so
that you are able to jump high when shooting a basket – giving you the ability
to shoot better from a further distance and score better when performing
layups as well as strengthening your quadriceps, hamstring and calves. Your
legs are the biggest muscles in your body and they are the engines that will
power your entire shot. As you jump, you want to ride the power of your liftoff
from the floor through your entire shooting motion, releasing the ball at the
peak of your jump. This will give distance and stability to your shot. The more
you rely on your legs to power the shot, the easier it will be for the rest of yourshooting to be effortless and repeatable.

2. Dribbling in and out of cones (both hands). – 5 minutes
Digital image. N.p., n.d. Web. 26 Nov. 2013. <http://s2.hubimg.com/u/6915869_f520.jpg>.
This exercise enables you to develop and improve your spatial awareness and
control of the basketball by swiftly moving in and out of cones dribbling the
ball and switching between both of your hands without looking down at the
ball.
3. Dribbling up and down the court (suicides – both hands). – 10 minutes. This
enhances the control over the ball.

This exercise improves the speed and stamina of the candidate and works on
developing the person’s control over the basketball when dribbling at a quick
speed.
4. On the spot dribbling while slowly moving down into a lying down position
and getting back up again (all while dribbling, both hand practice). – 10
minutes.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/how-to-shoot-the-perfect-basketpdf 5/18
This exercise only focuses on handling the basketball better and works on improving
control over the ball when it is being dribbled at different levels (lying down to
standing up.) Even though you will not be sitting down or lying down dribbling during
a game, you might need to crouch low to maneuver your way in and out of your
opponents to score or pass.
Drill 2 – Practice air shooting
1. ‘Lying on the back’ shot - lie down straight on your back and shoot the ball
straight up into the air. – 10 minutes. The ball should go straight up and come
straight down with a proper backspin.
8/13/2019 How To Shoot The Perfect Basket.pdf
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/how-to-shoot-the-perfect-basketpdf 6/18
This exercise allows you to improve your aim when shooting a basket. When
you shoot upwards, you want the ball to come back into your hands properly,
not end up hitting your face or the floor behind your head or beside you. Inorder to improve your aim this exercise uses your enhanced control over the
ball.
2. Face a wall and practice shooting up high on it as if aiming for a basket.
Maintain the proper stances. – 15 minutes.
Stance:
Begin with your feet shoulder width apart. Extend both arms straight over
your head, shoulder width apart. Your elbows are straight and should point
forward. Bend your wrists backward as far as you can and balance the ball on
the fingertips of your shooting hand. Place the elbow of your shooting arm a
few inches inward toward your face. The shoulders and body should remain
facing forward. You may have to slightly rotate your forearm to the outside to
gain more comfort. Flick your wrist so the ball goes about a foot in the air.
Catch the ball with your fingertips and repeat the drill. Practice the drill for
two minutes at a time. Repeat it with the opposite hand.

Instead of falling under the pressure of shooting directly at a basketball net
immediately, this exercise allows you to practice your aim and control over the ball
while shooting up into the air at a wall or to a person, without “missing” a shot. It
allows you to improve your aim, control, stance, and jump when you shoot at a net –
which will help you shoot the perfect basket.
Take a 10-minute rest.
Drill 3 – Shooting at the real basket
1. Shoot short distance shots (set shots) at different angles to begin with. Aim for
the backboard square to start off with (both hands) & focus on the rim of the
net. – 20 minutes.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/how-to-shoot-the-perfect-basketpdf 9/18
This exercise aims to develop your shooting skills at different angles
around the key. By doing so, you are constantly improving your arm
muscle stamina, aim, control, and shooting stance. By continuously
practicing at different angles, you are allowing your body to adapt to
shooting from different places, which means that in a game situation
you will be able to move in and out of defense around the key and
shoot successfully.
2. Practice right side layup with a no dribble start (2 steps only from standing
position) and then with a dribble start. – 10 minutes.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/how-to-shoot-the-perfect-basketpdf 11/18
Layups are considered the most basic shot in a game of basketball. You dribble the
ball outside of the key and then take a two-step leap towards the basket to shoot the
ball up, either hitting the backboard or not to get the ball in the net as quickly as
possible. This exercise will enable you to be able to get quickly past your opponent in
order to shoot and will improve your swift, quick movement with the ball for a game
situation.
3. Practice left side layup with a no dribble start (2 steps only from standing
position) and then with a dribble start. – 10 minutes.
Take a 5-minute rest.

4. Practice with defender defending the net while you are trying to take a shot. –
10 minutes.
This exercise is basic practice for a real game situation - minus the extra amount of
pressure from more members on the court. You are now able to put to use all of the
exercises, drills, skills and tactics you’ve learned in this program to see how far
you’ve come during the session and to practice them even more in a more realistic
situation (when you have a defender coming at you.)
This is the end of week #1.
