Equipment
Balls
Description
Player sprints full court, receives a pass at the arc, shoots immediately. Partner rebounds and outlets. Switch every 4 reps.
The constraint
Sprint baseline-to-baseline, then take a 3 off the catch. Score 7 before missing 5.
CLA principle
Game shots happen under fatigue; bench-shooting transfer is weak without it.
Coaching points
- Don't slow the shot to compensate for fatigue — trust the legs.
- Land balanced.
Common mistakes
- Resting on the rim instead of holding form.
