Every basketball coach needs their players to become better shooters. Whether it’s from long range, mid-range or from deep behind the three-point arc – if all five players on the floor are a threat to shoot – the ability to drain shots from the perimeter opens up everything else offensively.

No matter the offensive system your team runs, if your players struggle to shoot the basketball, your squad will struggle. But worry no more … because help has arrived!

Here is a sampling of four well-designed practice drills from renowned coaches that allow your players to build confidence in their outside shooting from a variety of spots on the court and train them to knock down shots with consistency while under pressure!

Shooting Drill No. 1:

Clemson’s 2024 Elite Eight coach, Brad Brownell, details the ‘Dorman 30’ shooting drill that he uses to practice shooting and get a large number of quality repetition in his practices.

Hall of Fame, former Villanova coach Jay Wright showcases one of his favorite practice drills – a shooting drill run at game-like speed – called the ‘2 Ball Shooting Drill’ – which offers much-needed shooting repetitions within the framework of their offense and allows your players to develop sound skills related to shooting such as, footwork, reading the defense and working with teammates.
