Pressure Jump Shots

Category: Shooting
Skill Level: Youth, Middle School, High School+
Required: 3 Basketballs, Full Team
Instructions:

Break into two different lines. One line starting at the free throw line and one line underneath the basket. Have the basketball start in the line underneath the basket.

The player with the ball passes to the player at the free throw line. The player receiving the pass is ready in triple threat position and catches the ball and rises up for the shot. At the same time, the passer sprints out to the shooter, closes out on the shooter and contests the shot.

After the shot is taken, the defender turns and boxes out the shooter and goes after the rebound. Both the offensive player and defensive player should go for the rebound.

Each player goes to the end of the opposite line and the drill continues on in this fashion with the next players that are up.

Variations

• Depending on the skill level, you can move the shooting line to back to the 3-point line.
• You can move the drill to either the right or left wings as well.
