Last week I was challenged to multiple shooting contests during our down time at the facility and me being the competitor that I am, I had to accept. At the New Jersey Sports Academy, we have three of the famous, “Guns” which is actually a nice piece of equipment for working on your shooting ability. I think the best part of the “Gun” is that it will actually keep track of the shots you have taken and the shots that you have made and then give you your shooting percentage.
Improve Your Shooting Workouts
Corner to Wing Shooting Drill
Basketball skill development should be an integral part of your basketball practices. At our practice we spend at least 20 minutes a practice on shooting. To become good at shooting the basketball and maintain that ability takes repetition, and this repetition should come in ways that apply to your offense. You have all heard me mention before that basketball players need to take games shots, at game spots, at game speed. This is a key to component to all aspects of basketball skill development and training at Elite Basketball Training.
Three Chair Attack Drill
Basketball skill development is a key component to becoming a good basketball player as is something that is worked on daily with my basketball team but also with my players that train at Elite Basketball Training. Elite Basketball Training focusses on the development of multiple skills as well as speed, quickness, agility, and strength. Two of those skills are ballhandling and finishing or shooting a jumper off the dribble. The Three Chair Attack Drill is a excellent drill to work on both of these skills

Shooting the basketball is a necessity in daily practices and could never understand how coaches could neglect this. Good shooting is based on repetition and if players do not keep up with this during the season, their shooting percentages will plummet. This post will give you a great shooting drill to incoroporate into your practices.
Game Shots at Game Spots at Game Speed
Too many times, basketball players go out and work on their jump shot and the work out does not consist of anything more than bouncing the ball a few times, firing up a shot from NBA range, getting the rebound, and repeating the process over and over again. This does not in any way produce a good jump shooter and will improve the players jump shot only slightly more than if they stayed on the couch and played NBA Live. Basketball players need to take game shots at game spots at game speed.
