Shooting without the Dribble

"One of the most important things that a player must be able to do to play on the offensive end of the court is to be able to shoot the basketball without putting it on the floor."

Steps to practice to help you accomplish this:

#1 Back spin the ball to yourself to simulate receiving a pass.

#2 Catch the ball firmly.

#3 Pivot and square up to the basket.

#4 Feet apart, rear-end down, head up.

#5 Shoot quickly, concentrate on good form.

#6 Be sure to cover all areas of the floor that are game shots for your position.

*Do this over and over and over and over and over until you get the muscle memory down.
