SUMMER WORKOUTS - POST DRILLS
Over the next few newsletters, we are going to share with you some of the more popular drill our staff in
using this fall. Below are the most popular options for shooting drills. In a typical 40 minute workout, we will
usually choose 2 or 3 of the shooting drills to incorporate as segements.
-Two post players go at once. Once post player is a passer, the second player is posting up.
-Each player passes (3) times and also scores (3) times.
-They then execute A-F in both roles.
Hi Lo Lock and Lob
Player 1 "flashes" into the foul line area and receives a pass. Player 2 seals the defender with "both arms
up". On the pass to player 1, player 2 "flips his head" and seals for a high low pas.
Elbow Curl Pass to Duckin
Player 1 gets open on the elbow and receives a pass. On the catch by player 1, player 2 ducks in from the
opposite block. Player 1 "curl passes" to player 2. Player 1, the passer, steps with the same leg he passes
with.
Bounce Pass to Post Diving
Player 1 is in a "live" post up above the block. He receives a pass. On the catch by player 1, player 2 dives
from the top of the key. Player 1 drops a bounce pass to player 2 cutting.
Short Corner Catch to Mid Post Diving
Player 1 is located in the "short corner" area behind the backboard. He receives a pass. On the catch by
player 1, player 2 dives from the mid post to seal the middle zone defender. He then receives a pass from
player 1. Player 1 either fakes high and passes low or fakes low and passes high to player 2.
Mid Post Catch to Short Corner Diving
Player 1 is positioned halfway up the lane line. He receives a pass. ON the catch by player #1, player #2
slides along the baseline toward the basket. Player #1 passes to #2. A bounce passes encouraged.
2 on 0 Without Dribbling
Player 1, 2 are each on a block with player 1 having a ball. Player 1 and 2 sprint toward halfcourt staying 15
ft. apart. They pass back and forth, touch halfcourt and continue to pass without dribbling until a player
bounce passes to another for a layup.

CELTIC SHOOTING DRILL
Without question this is our player's favorite drill. Our staff made this drill a part of our recent
Elite Camp and I can't begin to explain the positive response. Several high school players
were asking for the drill to be written up so that they could take it back to their teams and coaches.
1. The goal of the drill is to make it around the arc and back in under 2:00.
2. Player starts in the corner and 2:00 begins to count down as the first shot is taken.
3. 2 shots must be made IN A ROW before you can advance to the next spot.
4. When you make it to the opposite corner, a player must make 2 sets of shots in a row -- it is not
necessary to make 4 shots in a row.
5. Player then works his way back around to the starting point.
6. The drill is successfully completed when 2 shots are made in a row at all 10 spots in under 2:00.
