__Setup:__
1. one ball, one shooter per basket. Can be done with groups of 2/3/4 per basket, rotating turns. 2. Clock/stopwatch for coach

__Points of Emphasis:__
1. Shoot with left hand on left side, right hand on right side 2. Jump off the opposite foot - raise the right knee when shooting righty, raise left knee when shooting lefty 3. Aim for the upper corner of the box on the backboard behind the rim

__Suggested Variations:__
1. Let each player shoot for 30 sec at a time - count makes, but only if shot with correct foot & hand. Compete to see who gets the most makes in allotted time. Gradually lengthen time to a minute or longer. 2. Count who gets the most makes in a row. 3. Mix groups at each basket with players from different teams, then have the teams compete.
