The Best Basketball Shooting Drill
Basketball is a sport in which you can vastly improve just by performing consistent drills. By performing regular shooting drills you can really begin to become a better performer. Besides a quality basketball you will also need a portable basketball stand. These goals are great especially if you live in a home where there is not a whole lot of room. You can use the driveway if the cars are not parked there on a regular basis or if you live near a cul-de-sac you can move the goal over there to practice this shooting drill at home.
One of my favorite basketball shooting drills is called the two chair drill. What you will need is a basketball, a basketball stand, and two chairs. Set the chairs about 10 feet apart with the backs of the chairs facing the basketball goal. Then place a the basketball in one of the chairs. The purpose of this shooting drill is to learn how to shoot the basketball off of the dribble. Stand at the chair that has the basketball in it and then run and tap the empty chair. Run 
back to the chair with the basketball and scoop up the ball with your hand and take a dribble or two and shoot the basketball. This drill is also great for helping you to follow your shot. After you shoot, go and get the rebound and then place the basketball in the other chair. You will then repeat the process over again.
This drill works best if you have a timer. Set the clock for 2 minutes and see how many baskets you can score in that time frame. Then have a competition with either yourself or with someone else and see if you can break the highest scoring record. The genius of this drill is that it simulates what real basketball playing is like. You normally have to run around the court to get open and you have to shoot the ball when you are tired. Do not just shoot open shots thinking that it is going to make you a basketball star. You need to practice performing the right basketball drills if you want to get to the next level.
