Driveway Shooting

Basketball Manitoba has a series of Driveway Drills for kids on YouTube. While it helps to have a double driveway, you can get in a good workout by shooting from out top on a single driveway, covering the types of shots listed in Off-Season Workouts based on age and skill level.

For older players, here are some good driveway options, linked to Off-Season YouTube drills for details and YouTube links.

• 100-Shot Challenge
  • Spot-up shots, pull-ups, stepbacks, hesitation pull-ups, speed-stop exchanges.
    • Progression - use other stop-separation moves (e.g. inverted drag) and drag pullbacks, see Shooting - Multi-stop challenge and James Harden under drag breakdown (video).
• Perfect Shooting Workout
  • Add Mikans, floaters, square-up shooting, and change-of-direction pull-ups to your workout.
    • You can spin a pass for square-ups, see Big-Step Shooting and Elite shooting (note the 1-2-3 footwork, catching on the outside foot)
  • Also see Point-Guard Workout.
    • Add a high ballscreen - go around, split, reject, shoot from behind.
• Sprint-Through Shooting
  • Catch and shoot on the move towards the basket.

See Shooting - Guard workout, Altizer challenge.
