So way back I used to have an old tweet of my “Shooting Challenges” document…I figured I’d share it again! It’s a mix of my own & ones I’ve gotten from other coaches Disclaimer: You ask anyone I used to train they’d say my “Conditioning 3’s” was their favorite 😉

Coaches take from other coaches. Have been a fan of this 1v1 drill so we added it to summer workouts Set Up: • O is working on ball handling (any combinations they want) but focusing on pace & twitch • D can touch either cone - once D touches a cone is when O can attack

I have nothing to “promote” but let’s clear some things up: • These are grown WOMEN not “girls” • I’ll explain the defensive rotation that should’ve happened if u need me too, or simply appreciate the hustle...Also there’s no “travel” • SUPPORT WOMEN’S SPORTS #SayHerName

Closeouts are tough. Practice them daily, with energy… “Be Active” ☝🏽: Active mouth 🗣 - Identify 🏀 ✌🏽: Active feet 👣 - Contain drive 👌🏽: Active hands ✋🏽- Slowdown shot

When doing Alley-Ball (Zig Zags), have a set time the offense has to get from baseline to baseline (8-10seconds). If Offense makes time the defender has 10 pushups. If defense gets a stop/steal the offense has 10 pushups. Forces players to compete & push themselves on both ends.

Had stolen this one from another coach last summer but loved it because it plays with the mental side The best shooters have “amnesia” and focus on the present shot instead of the last make/miss

Got another great drill to share with you all from Coach Pat Estepp of Cederville: They use this towards the beginning of practice - great drill to emphasize BALL PROTECTION. 3 v 4 - Offense has to complete 10 clean passes
