Each year in the fall we hold four sessions of "Skills & Drills" for our Jr. Titans. The enthusiasm is always high and many of our current players help conduct the workouts. Yesterday was no exception! The following is a recap of what we did:
Ball Handling: 150 Pound Series
Player A completes the following ball handling skills:
High Pound (25x)
Low Pound (25x)
Inside-Out (25x)
Crossover (25x)
Between Legs (25x)
Behind Back (25x)
Every “pound” counts as one dribble. After completing weak hand, repeat with strong hand, and then weak hand once more!
Form Shooting Progression (FSP)
Wrist Extensions & Reverse Wrist Extensions
Trace & Retrace
Arm Swing
1-Handed Form Shooting (R&L)
2-Handed Form Shooting (Groove Your Shot)
In my 28 years as a head coach, the players who take this routine to heart and practice it daily, all develop into good shooters.
