Pin Downs and Post Ups
As I plan my small group workouts, I always try to create shooting drills that generate as many game-like shots as possible in a short amount of time. Two skills that are required for our players is shooting off pin down screens (for the guards) and deep post-ups with finishing at the front of the rim (for our big men).
- The guard begins underneath the basket, while the big man starts several steps off the block towards the wing.
- The Dish passes to the coach who is located at the top of the key.
- On the pass, the big man sets a pin down for the guard. The guard sprints out towards the wing to receive a pass from the coach and shoot from 3, while the big man starts to move to the middle of the lane for a deep post-up.
- The Dish passes another ball to the coach who then throws the ball inside to the big man.
