Jack’s One Step Basketball Game
Improve your basketball shooting skills with Jack’s One Step Basketball Game. It can be used as an individual warm up drill or a team game.
Start under the basket from where a lay-up should be taken and take a shot. If that first shot is made, get the rebound and take one more step away from the goal for the next shot. If that shot is made, take two steps away from the goal and shoot again. Miss and go back to step one.
Every time the shot is made, take the next shot one more step away from the goal. Every time the shot is missed, go back to the starting point one step from the goal.
Variation 1: Shooters are given two attempts to make the shot before returning to step one.
Variation 2: Use Jack’s One Step game on bank shots from the right and left side of the goal.
Variation 3: Draw an imaginary circle on the court about five feet from the goal. Use Jack’s One Step game to shoot from five to 10 spots around this imaginary circle. Then, move the circle back to 10 feet from the goal and repeat your five to 10 shots from around the circle. Move back to the 3 point line and continue the game.
