Great RAM drill from South Pen

Looking for some extra basketball training Contact Jackson at [email protected] Camps start next week

Contested 3pt Shooting - 3v2 This drill starts with a pass from the baseline or key, defense can closeout on the flight of the pass. Offense can catch and shoo...t on the initial pass, or they can also utilise as many passes as there are defenders, in this example it is two passes. Offense gets 1pt for a made shot, and defense gets 1pt for a block, steal, or a deflection that ends the play. We usually go first to 7pts, then change sides of the floor. Make it take it, miss it we switch O & D. #LiveLearnTeach
