Pivot Shooting
Drill Purpose
The purpose of this drill is to improve your stationary basketball moves when you have the ball - including shots, jabs, footwork, and beating the defense.
Drill Instructions and Diagrams
Set up a chair just outside your shooting range at the foul line extended. The seat of the chair should be facing the basket.
Put a ball on the chair
Player starts under the basket.

After rebounding, player dribbles hard, working on this handle by using a variety of dribble moves, back to the chair.

Teaching Points.
Be sure to practice all your pivots (front pivot, inside pivot, etc) with both feet and on both sides.
Really emphasize picking the ball up and putting it in shooting position
Jab should be a short step, not taking you out of shooting position
No “Negative” steps. Players have a tendency to step backwards when recovering from a jab. There is no need to do that.
Dribbles should be looooong, thinking “Lay-up.”
