Rainbow Shooting: Driving to the Net and Shooting Accuracy

Often young children have a tendency to throw the ball at the hoop which can result in a lot of rebounded shots. However, by using the metaphor "Make a Rainbow" you can help your players visualise the correct shooting form to get the ball up and over - helping them on their way to becoming a top goal shooter. Read on to learn more!

Part 1:
To get your players shooting with loop we kick things off with three rainbow partner warm up exercises, getting players to focus on getting height on their shots and accurately shooting with a flick of the wrist.

Part 2:
After this we up the tempo as we work on Speed Footwork and Shooting in a series of driving drills, designed to get your players sprinting into the circle, using 1-2 footwork and shooting at the goal hoop with accuracy.

Lastly, we finish this goal scoring session with a conditioned game to see which team can make the most shots in the allotted time!

Passing into Space is an Art - Passing into Space Session

This week we've got a positive passing session for you and your team, including a dynamic running Warm Up you can easily integrate into your Pre-Match routine. Read on to learn more!

After the varied running warm up (including some heel flicks, lunges and zig-zag running) we then get your players to practice their driving runs - moving at speed with open hands and heads up - looking to receive the pass in space and continue moving the ball up the court!

Passing into space is an art that needs to be practised and practised in order to be perfected - your players will need to be able to read their team-mate's movement so that they pass the ball ahead of where they are going.

Help your players to develop into skilled passers and receivers with this passing practice session to get the ball moving at speed!
