The basketball season is almost here! As you begin practice planning, consider drills that focus on game-like actions and can be effortlessly incorporated into your team's routine. If you're looking for easy drills that get everyone involved and keep your shooting stats 100% accurate, check out the Pass and Shot Location variation shooting drills below.

Variation #1: Attack Middle and kickout

In this drill, players will work on their drive and kick action.

Set up three lines: one at the top of the key and two at each corner. The player at the top of the key receives a pass from the Dr. Dish machine, drives right, and kicks out to the corner player, who lifts to the wing for a shot. After the shot, players switch lines. The next player at the top of the key will drive left, alternating sides for each rep.

How to Build on Your Dr. Dish:

1. Go to Build A Drill and select "Timed Mode".
2. Add a spot at the top of the key then update your location style to "Pass and Shoot".
3. Next add a spot at the right wing and at the left wing. Be sure to update "Balls Per Location to only be 1. 

Variation #2: Lateral Wing shooting

This drill helps players work on quick decision-making on passes and getting their shot off fast.

Set up two lines: one at the top of the key and the other at the wing. Players will receive a pass from the Dish at the top of the key for a quick read and pass to the player at then wing who quickly releases a shot. Players will rotate and repeat!

How to Build on Your Dr. Dish:

1. Go to Build A Drill and select "Timed Mode".
