Level: Junior High, High School
Shot Location: The Branson School, Marin County, California
Instructor: Max Shapiro
Notes: Max explains a great way to learn how to shoot the ball the right way by practicing close to the rim standing still.  This method simplifies the shooting process and focuses in on the most important details such as follow through, shot-height, and smooth release. Any and every player that is trying to become a solid shooter needs to spend time in the driveway and before practice working on this technique.

Even college level players and higher start their warm up with this drill to make sure their shot is dialed in before moving further away from the basket.  Combine this drill with some up and down activity such jump stops, skips, pattern dribbling, or defensive slides to get yourself tired before the drill and increase the effectiveness.
