Drills for Basketball – Spotting Basketball Shooting Errors – Cures for a Flat Shot

As important as it is to work with your child or players on shooting drills for basketball, it is just as important to make sure they are doing it right. One of the most important skills your as a coach can develop is the ability to spot what is wrong with a shot. You can have the best drills in the world but if the player is repeating those drills over and over with poor form, all that is being done is the reinforcement of that poor form. The old expression that practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect is very true for shooting drills.

Schools back – Time to work on Some Fundamental Drills for Basketball

Well the summer is over. The summer leagues are finished, and the school and recreational programs are a few months away. Now is the time to work on the fundamentals.  Whether your child has just become old enough to join their first local basketball league or is gearing up for their senior year of high school, this is a great opportunity to learn or refresh their fundamental basketball skills. Work on refreshing or learning the mechanics of a consistent, accurate shot, with some basketball shooting drills geared to the form. work on dribbling drills to add to their comfort and control of the basketball. Go back to the fundamentals with these drills. There are 100′s of drills for each, and sometimes we get wrapped up in the most complex and sophisticated drills. However, no mater what level your child is at, it pays to come back to the very beginner drills  every so often. As players start to run drills concentrating on getting their shot off or shooting off a pass, or shooting coming off a screen, there is a tendency to rush the shot and form deteriorates. Over time and with repetition the form degradation slowly increases.  Going back to the basics reminds the child and as importantly the child’s body of the proper motion. It rebuilds muscle memory so that when the player is running the more complicated drills their bodies will more naturally use the proper technique.

Drills for Basketball Resources – A Beginning

I have just started to add the actual drills for basketball to my site and I must confess I am as excited by doing it as I was when I first started researching to become a coach. It has reawakened that love for the intricacies and subtleties of this wonderful game that have laid dormant since I stopped coaching. I have been going through my old videos, my old notes and practices, and exploring the net to see what new and exciting resources are there. What I have found is there is no better time in history to be a youth basketball coach. There is so much information available that you could spend the next five years studying, researching and learning, without cracking a dent in the knowledge base. Information that once required being associated with an elite basketball program is readily passed out for all to learn, often free or for very little money.

FINDING AGE APPROPRIATE DRILLS FOR BASKETBALL

Whether you are a coach or a parent, one of the most important things you will do when teaching basketball skills is picking age appropriate drills. If you are a coach your practice time with your team is limited and picking the wrong drills for basketball means that the valuable skills that your players need will not be developed. And often the drills you are working on won’t succeed because the skills needed to accomplish them aren’t there.  For a parent it is just as important to pick the right drills as your child’s love for the game and therefore their success with it will often develop from the successes they achieve with the drills. If you start them off with drills that are too complex or require prior skills that they haven’t mastered, not only can it get them frustrated and have them lose interest, but it can also make them develop bad form. This can often result in temporary success at the drill, while ensuring long term failure at the skill. I often wonder when seeing some of the shooting styles of players that lack any semblance of good technique, how much of it is because they started shooting at hoops too high or from a distance to far, forcing them to chuck up the ball just so they can see it hit the rim and occasionally go in.
