Activity/Content Development
Warm-Up: Knockout Shooting game. Everyone forms a line
at the free throw line. The first two in line each have a ball.
The first person shoots, and as soon as the ball hits the rim
the second person can shoot. If you miss, you can rebound
and shoot again. The object of the game is to make it before
the person in front of you and knock them out of the game.
Once out, go to the side and wait for the game to end.

Modifications
If only 2 baskets, two
players can share a
basket. If 4 baskets,
each player can go to
their own basket.

Introduction: We are going to focus on shooting a jump shot

and the offensive tactic of attacking the basket.
Has anyone ever heard of BEEF?
Balance, eyes, elbow, follow through.

6-9

Lets each get a ball and stand a couple feet back from the
basket and practice short-range shots using BEEF.
Baseline shooting drill:
Players in two even lines behind the basket. One player will run a
small circle to the opposite side, at the block, and will receive a
pass and take a bunny shot and rebounds their shot. The player
that passes the ball will run around to the opposite block and
shoot, rebound and pass to the first person in the opposite line
that they just came from.

Start out under the

basket.
After a couple rounds of
each player getting to
shoot, move back a
couple steps and keep
moving back until at the
top of the key.

Organization
Line up behind the
free throw line, first
two with a ball.

10 Spot Shooting Drill:

Each player gets a ball, there will be 10 spots laid out on the court
and each player should go around and shoot once at each of the
10 spots, tracking how many they made if they want to compete
against each other.

If students want it to be
competitive, they can
compete to make the
most out of 10 or they
can just shoot without
counting.

10 spots around the

court, players
moving from spot
to spot.

Remember to use
proper form
(BEEF)
Balance, eyes,
elbow, follow
through
Add in pump fake

Students can modify this

on their own, if they
want to short shorterrange shots or longerrange shots they are free
to do so.

Two students per

basket, shooting
from spots of their
choice.

Remember BEEF.
Use your legs when
shooting longerrange shots.

Pump-fake, dribble, and shoot:

After shooting once at each spot, go back through and pump fake
a shot and dribble either right or left and shoot. Go around the 10
spots again, doing a pump fake, dribble and shoot.

15-20

Partner Shooting:
One partner will pick a spot they feel like working on and shoot
there for 30 seconds while the other partner rebounds for them.
After 30 seconds, partners will switch roles and the other person
will get to shoot. We will do this from 3 different spots.

Tip-It Game:
Two players form a team, one at each corner of the top of the key.
The other two players form a team, one by each block. The two
players up top will take turns shooting back and forth from the
spot that theyre at. For every time they make it, they score 2
points. They add up their points and are trying to get 21. If they
miss, the two players down by the basket are waiting for a
rebound and must tip-it it for 1 point by jumping up for the
rebound and shooting it back into the basket while they are still in
the air. If they successfully tip-it in, they get to switch roles
with the other team and get to shoot up top and try for 21. Points
stay with each team until they reach 21. If a team goes over 21,
they go back to 15.
3-Point Shooting Contest:
Two teams, one ball per team. Each team has their own basket
and starts at the same spot. Start at one baseline and work your
way around the 3-point arc to the other baseline, stopping at 5
different spots. Each player will shoot at each spot. The first
player shoots and rebounds then passes to the other player who
shoots then passes to the next. Each team will count each shot
that they make aloud so the other team can hear. Whichever team
gets the most made shots wins. This is not a race. Each team will
take the same number of shots so rushing is not necessary.

Closure What does the B in BEEF stand for? (Balance)

Someone else, the E? (Eyes)
Someone else, the other E? (Elbow)
And the last person, the F? (Follow through)
What else should we remember to use when shooting longrange shots especially? (Our legs)
Good job today, now Danny is going to teach about Free
throw shooting and Lay-Ups.

If tipping it in is too
hard, they can simply get
the rebound and shoot a
bunny shot. This makes
it very easy, though.

Two students at the

corners of the top
of the key.
Two rebounders,
one at each block.

Shooters:
Remember BEEF
Use your legs

We could make this a

shorter-range shot if
someone wasnt strong
enough to shoot a 3point shot.

Two teams of two,

at separate baskets.
Spots will be down
around the arc.
Start at one
baseline, end at the
other.

Use your legs for

power
