4-3-2-1 TEAM SHOOTING COMPETITION

SETUP: form two teams: every player has the ball. Both teams are in line behind a cone in low post. Other 3 co- nes are put around the lane in diffe- rent positions, increasing the distan- ce from the basket.

GOAL: stand shooting from different positions.

DESCRIPTION: every player shoots once, gets his own rebound and co- mes back to line. The team has to score 4 baskets in a row (without er- rors) from the first position, then they move to the second cone. Team has to score 3 baskets in a row from the second cone, 2 in a row from the third cone, and only one shot from the last cone. Distance and difficulty increase at every cone.

GAME: the first team to complete the four positions wins the game. You can repeat the drill changing the posi- tions.

CORRECTIONS:
focus on different details in shooting: ask the players to be squared (feet, shoulders, elbow, hand), legs into the shot. Follow through.
