I will then use contested shooting. I will use defenders throughout my drill making the shot of the three-point line more difficult. The start player will dribblie it to the red cone out wide. After the red player will sprint use the step back technique and shot the ball, The blue player once passed the blue cone will run up to attempt to almost block the ball but just put their hands in the participants face to make it more difficult for the red player to shot from the coner shot. The blue player will start his run as soon as the red player slaps the ball signalling the start of the drill.
When shooting the basketball, the palm of the shooting hand is under the ball and fingers pointing upwards, The support hand should be at the side of the ball balancing and aiming. Keep eyes on the prize all the way. Keep elbow under the ball pointing towards the target, Flick the wrist at the end to help control the ball and flick fingers to give it some extra force but mainly direction, Jumping straight up keeping back up and head still to create more accuracy with the shot, Elevating and releasing the ball just before the top of the height, Try holding the flick of the wrist/ follow through until the landing always finishing with a solid technique on shooting the far distance shots.

Four players standing still make every ball handler's job harder. Teach V-cuts, L-cuts and back cuts so your team gets open and punishes defenders who overplay.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
