SHOOTING DRILLS

‘Players usually maintain their interest in basket shooting and

little difficulty is experienced in holding their attention. There
are a number of types of shots needed by the average basketball
player in the execution of the offense and the following drills
have been used in teaching these shots. The drills for teaching
rebound shooting have been especially valuable. Some of the
drills are recommended for the large squad and others are more
suitable for the smaller squad. Players should be schooled in
the execution of all of the shots listed.

GAME OF POINTS

This is the game commonly known
as “'25"*- 68-421”,

Players must shoot back of a desig-
nated line (commonly the foul circle).

Long shots count 2 points and

' short shots count 1 point. The ball
- must be shot on the short shot from

the point of recovery. If the ball goes

‘out of bounds, the player forfeits the
‘short shot opportunity. The excep-

tion to this rule is when a long basket
is made and the ball goes out of
bounds. In this case the player is en-
titled to a shot under the basket. The
- first one to score the designated num-

- ber of points is the winner. In case

two players make the designated num-
ber or more in the same number of
shots the game is declared a tie and the
entire game shot over.
