The off-season is where real basketball skill development happens. It’s a chance for basketball players to enhance their skills, build confidence, and get a step ahead of the competition before the next season tips off. For basketball coaches and trainers, the off-season is also an opportunity to equip players with purposeful drills they can complete using a Dr. Dish shooting machine or while training with a partner.
Here are 10 basketball shooting drills players, coaches, and trainers alike can use during individual and small group training sessions.
Basketball off-season training can go in any direction. Which is why it's important to have specific goals so players can focus on developing their areas of improvement instead of trying to juggle everything.
