Partner Shooting
Partner shooting gets a lot of game-like shots in a short time. One player shoots while her partner rebounds and passes. The shooter moves through five spots, from corner to corner, and has her feet and hands ready before the catch. Switch after ten shots or one full lap.

How the drill works
- Spot 1, right corner. The passer hits the shooter, who catches ready and shoots.
- The passer rebounds. Shooter moves to the right wing, hands up, and shoots on the catch.
- Spot 3, top of the key.
- Spot 4, left wing.
- Spot 5, left corner. Then switch: the passer shoots.
Coaching points
- Feet and hands ready before the catch.
- Same shot every time: balance, elbow under the ball, hold the follow-through.
- Passer: crisp chest pass to the shooting pocket.
- Track makes and try to beat your score.
Variations
- Make it a competition: first pair to 15 makes.
- Add a shot fake and one dribble into a pull-up.
- Move in from the three-point line to mid-range for younger players.
