Top 20 Shooting and Dribbling Drills
20 items ranked
Basketball is as much a game of physical talent as it is just simple muscle memory. Most great shooters didn’t just walk into a gym and shoot fifty percent from the field. It required dozens and dozens of hours of practice and thousands of shoots. Here are some shooting and dribbling drills that will help you master the game.

1.
Shooting 101
This is a very basic shooting drill and the purpose is to help you develop proper form. Start by standing a few feet from the basket with the ball in your shooting hand and your other behind your back. Shoot the ball into the hoop focusing on bending your knees and follow through. Once you make five swishes, back up on feet. Keep doing it until you reach the free throw line.

Crab Walk
Start at one end of the court and walk to the other. After each step you take pass the ball through your legs to your other hand without it touching the ground. This drill will help you with your eye-hand coordination and your crossovers.
