Elbow Jump Shots
Each coach should form two lines with players lined up at each elbow. Players shoot jump shots or set shots or whatever is comparable to their age. The player at the front of the line shoots the ball and rebounds his shot and passes to the next player in his line. The player does not change lines but gets at the back of the line. Players shoot the ball from both sides simultaneously until the first team gets to 10. Change sides and go again. Losers condition.
It’s a simple but great drill to work on short to midrange jump shots. It is great for warmups and some light competition. To make the drill more fun up the totals to 20 or 30 makes.
Something to focus on during this drill is the pass from the rebounder. Make sure the passer knows how to get the ball to the shooter. The shooter should also be ready to receive the ball by already having the knees bent and in shooting position. Sometimes the team that wins is simply the team that gets the most shots up.
