Coach Dan Speaks:

Form shooting on the basketball court is an essential drill for mastering basketball shooting technique. It requires firing the ball directly at the side of the backboard, and having it rebound right back to the shooter’s hands. This drill demands precision as there is very little room for error; however, with repetition and focus, anyone can perfect this skill as a basketball player. Performing form shooting regularly is one of the best ways to hone basketball accuracy from whatever distance one is attempting shots, making this drill invaluable in any basketball game plan.
