UTILIZING THE BALL SCREENS EFFECTIVELY TRAINING

• Ball screen work: Use a chair to stand in for the screener, and practice scoring off of the screen. Practice starting at the level of the screen, imagining different defensive reads, and:

• Stepping back into a jumper
• Going around the screen for a jumper from the elbow or nail
• Rejecting the screen and shooting
• Scoring at the rim
• (See diagram for chair placement suggestions.)

your daily training should look like this:
• Warm-up and stretching
• Stationary ball-handling circuit (3 minutes total)
• Form shooting progression: 100 total shots
• Four-way form shooting: 25 total shots
• Moving ball-handling circuit
• Angled ball-handling circuit
• Pickup shooting (at the free-throw line): 20 total shots
• Pickup shooting + ball-handling concepts (at
free-throw line): 10 total shots
• Four-way pickup shooting (at free-throw line/top of
key): 40 total shots
• Ball screen work: 10 minutes total (5 minutes left side
and 5 minutes right side)
