Drills to Improve Shooting Off the Dribble
and When Coming Off of Screens
-by Coach Dave Stricklin http://www.hoopskills.com
One thing that often separates a
scorer from a shooter is his ability to
shoot off the move.
Shooting off the move can either
consist of using one or two dribbles to
set up a pull up jumper or coming off
the screen, getting the feet properly
set and taking the shot.
Today I want to share with you a
training plan that you can use to
improve your "screen" shooting.
(The theory of training I'm about to
describe is called "segmental" training
and is also known as "whole-part-
whole" training.)
Whole:
Warm-up your body both physically and mentally by taking 10 total shots
mimicking coming off a screen and stepping into your shot.
Take 5 shots each from both sides of the floor.

Make sure that while on each side of the court that you are taking 5 shots
stepping into the ball with your right foot and 5 shots stepping into the ball with
your left foot. Don't get aggravated if the ball isn't going in initially. The goal of
this segment is to get your body comfortable with the movement. (1-2 minutes)
Part:
Form Shooting -
Shoot approximately 12 shots with perfect form from about 3-5 feet away from
the basket. It's extremely important to focus on having perfect form! One thing
that I put extra emphasis on is the follow through. Hold your follow through until
the ball goes into the rim! By over emphasizing this aspect of your shot there will
be a better chance of carryover once the actual workout starts. (1-2 minutes)
Form Catching -
Many athletes today complain about not being able to "jump" during their shot.
As a consequence these athletes never really develop a true jump shot but more
or less of a set shot instead. In my opinion one of the reasons this takes place is
because athletes don't catch the basketball with their knees bent. To drill this
skill, spin the ball to yourself and then step into the ball while dropping down into
a triple threat position. To end the drill raise the ball to its release point as if you
were going to take a shot. Do this 5-8 times while reminding yourself to always
"Play low to high." (1-2 minutes)
Form Footwork -

Most coaches will tell you that being able to get open when coming off a screen is
the direct result of your ability to set up your defender before you actually use the
screen. To set up the drill place a chair at the elbow with the seat of the chair
facing the three point line. Rest a ball in the chair. YOU start at the block facing
the top of the key. Take two steps towards the middle of the key before exploding
out around the imaginary screen as tight as possible. Continue sprinting until you
reach the chair and the grab the ball off the seat. Execute 5 times per side. (1-2
minutes)
Whole:
Now that you have broken down all the individual aspects of the entire shot it's
time to perform your shooting routine. Work on taking various shots off primarily
down screens and flare screens. Make sure to shoot from both sides of the floor
so you can perfect the proper footwork. Your goal should be to get 50 - 70 shots
up which is approximately 5-7 shots a minute. Everything must be done at game
speed and again keep telling yourself to play low to high. (10-12 minutes) In just
20 minutes you have put in a legit shooting workout. Not only did you get in over
100 total shots but you also worked on your improving your shooting technique
and footwork fundamentals.
