Shooting Drills

This drill gets each player a shot every repetition as you rehearse the 3-man action of side ball screens with the corner filled.

Transition Drills
Six practice drills will progress your players through the necessary fundamentals of playing fast in the full court in addition to breaking down Coach Sampson's primary fast break attack. The "One Minute Passing" drill will teach your players to get open on the perimeter with L-cuts to reverse the ball. The "War Drill" will develop some individual fight in your players to go dominate the boards. "Full Court Layups" teaches athletes to score at high speed with bust out dribbles. A second variation to this drill prepares your players for pulling up in transition for jump shots.
The "Four Second Fast Break" drill begins to teach principles to the Cougar fast break attack. You will see how to quickly advance the ball up the floor without a dribble to score within seconds. The "Rebound to Tow Man Fast Break" is another fantastic drill for teaching players how to quickly outlet the ball off missed baskets.
